I was able to disable with hardcode: process.env["NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED"] = 0;

@ruslK This has been answered here

Are these self signed certificates or private network API call or behind a proxy ?

A working example that might be of help #293

Note: You will have to ignore parts that doesn't relate to your case in the above example

Additionally, if you have the cert/key pair you can provide it the agent in withCore() and you should be able to make https requests.

• we don't use proxy.

Additionally, if you have the cert/key pair you can provide it the agent in withCore() and you should be able to make https requests.

• we don't mock data, we do E2E, we are hitting actual endpoint in environment.

We would be happy disable SSL with pactum, not with process.env["NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED"] = 0;

Can I ask another question about Redirection?
we have endpoint, which finish with 302 and should be redirected to another endpoint.
When I execute that endpoint in postman, I see in logs that postman makes 5 another call with redirection.
is possible to do with pactum?

Yes, the example provides you with details on how to use an agent, the suggestion was to pick the block of code related to the agent from the example.

const https = require('https');

// If you have the cert/key pair
const key = fs.readFileSync("server.key")
const cert = fs.readFileSync("server.crt")

const agent = new https.Agent({
  cert: cert, // Optional - add if cert available 
  key: key, // Optional - add if key is available 
  rejectUnauthorized: false // Ignore  certificate errors
});

pactum.spec()
    .get('<https url>')
    .withCore({agent: agent })
    .expectStatus(200)

about Redirect

For follow Redirects, refer to the documention https://pactumjs.github.io/api/requests/withFollowRedirects.html#withfollowredirects

what is deep of Redirect? one redirect or not?
and how to config redirections?
and how to see logs for redirections?

PactumJS relies on phin.js for http/https requests and it has a default follow redirect count of 20. Changes to support configuring redirect count in PactumJS can be expected in the next couple of releases.

As for debug logs for redirects, phin under the hood uses follow-redirects, one option I see is to set an environment variable suggested in their readme doc

It is working, but I have issue with cookies, cookies are not passing for next redirected call.
In postman there is config calls Disable cookie jar - if I disable in postman, i'm getting same problem with pactum.

So it possible to Enable Cookies Jar with PactumJS?

looks like someone else looking for same: #112

The above will be handled in #372
