insomnia.sendRequest is causing the after response script execution forever.

[Sravanchitiprolu]

Expected Behavior

while calling the insomnia.sendRequest, expect to call the API with the details passed and retrun response in the after response script.

Actual Behavior

It is making the after script execute forever with out and end.

Reproduction Steps

1. Open the API request
2. Go to script tab
3. Click on after response tab
4. Script below is failing and making the after response script to execute for ever.
   Example 1:
   const resp = await
   insomnia.sendRequest(
   {
   url: '',
   method: 'POST',
   headers: [
   { name: 'Content-Type', value: 'application/json' },
   { name: 'Authorization', value: authToken }
   ],
   body: {
   mimeType: 'application/json',
   text: JSON.stringify(postData)
   }
   }
   );
   console.log('Pricing API response:', resp.statusCode, resp.body);

Example 2:
const resp = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
insomnia.sendRequest(
{
url: '',
method: 'POST',
headers: [
{ name: 'Content-Type', value: 'application/json' },
{ name: 'Authorization', value: authToken }
],
body: {
mimeType: 'application/json',
text: JSON.stringify(postData)
}
}, (err, resp) => {
if (err != null) {
reject(err);
} else {
resolve(resp);
}
}
)
});
Both of this didn't work.

Is there an existing issue for this?

This is because the approach that you are specifying body and headers are not supported, btw both examples didn't specify url, will take a look at the bubbling up error though:

const resp = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    insomnia.sendRequest(
        {
            url: 'httpbin.org/anything',
            method: 'POST',
            header: {
                'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
		'Authorization': "authToken",
            },
            body: {
		mode: 'raw',
                raw: JSON.stringify({}),
            }
        },
        (err, resp) => {
            if (err != null) {
                reject(err);
            } else {
                resolve(resp);
            }
        }
    );
});

Hi, I have given the placeholder in the URL as I can't share them. But seems like it removed while submitting.

I found the issue, that is because I am mentioning "headers" instead of "header". This is the primary issue.
After I change it started working. Thank you very much.

But still wondering, if the syntax or data passed is invalid, it is error out right instead of keep executing forever?

Hi @Sravanchitiprolu glad to hear that, the sendRequest is a bit complicated one as it has to support await and callback then there could be several paths to bubble up error, will look into it.

Thank you.

The above code now works on the develop branch so closing this.
