TypeError: Object has no member ‘replace’

"Hi

I’ve just converted a postman collection through postman-to-k6 tool.

I’m having the current problem when executing the script and it seems to be connected to http.file part

I’m out of clues about what is happening here

code:

export default function() {
		
  postman[Request]({
    name: "/recommendation (file upload)",
    id: "72996999-1924-45d4-8b65-1e1867785397",
    method: "POST",
    address: "{{recommendation-url}}/recommendation?start=1&limit=10",
    data: { user_id: "5", file: http.file(document_file) },
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    post(response) {
      var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
      postman.setEnvironmentVariable(
        "recommendation_request.id",
        jsonData.recommendation_request.id
      );
    }
  });

Error raised while running the script:

ERRO[0005] TypeError: Object has no member 'replace'

    done [==========================================================] 1 / 1

Thank you in advance"

P.S. It is uploading a word document (binary)

i'm having the same problem, its this makeRequestConfig() in core.js. i could hack it about to work but there has surely got to be a fix to this?

Hi guys. Thanks for the report. I'll be looking into this soon.

[bookmoons]

Does someone have an example collection they can post? My tests are not reproducing.

[bookmoons]

Hi guys. Would really like to fix this bug but so far I haven't found an input that causes it. If someone could send a Postman collection that causes it, that would help a lot. I'd be able to find what's happening and publish a fix. @marcelo-dalmeida @Lex-talionis

Hi @bookmoons

Sorry for the delay.

It is basically a ms/word file upload (binary file upload handling)

Here is the collection I was using it:
recommendation.postman_collection.zip

[bookmoons]

Thanks a lot @marcelo-dalmeida. Will investigate.

This is the conversion I see. The file part of the body is an empty string. Still not quite right but tt's different than the report where it's an http.file() call.

Is this also what you see? Is it possible you were adding that http.file() call manually ?

    data: { user_id: "5", file: "" },

  postman[Request]({
    name: "/recommendation (file upload)",
    id: "05cc76cd-214f-46b7-a251-5219b509eab1",
    method: "POST",
    address: "{{recommendation-url}}/recommendation?start=1&limit=10",
    data: { user_id: "5", file: "" },
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    post(response) {
      var recommendation_url = postman.getEnvironmentVariable(
        "recommendation-url"
      );

      if (
        recommendation_url.startsWith("{{") &&
        recommendation_url.endsWith("}}")
      ) {
        var url_variable = recommendation_url;

        url_variable = url_variable.replace("{{", "");
        url_variable = url_variable.replace("}}", "");

        new_recommendation_url = postman.getEnvironmentVariable(url_variable);

        postman.setEnvironmentVariable(
          "recommendation-url",
          new_recommendation_url
        );
      }

      var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
      postman.setEnvironmentVariable(
        "recommendation_request.id",
        jsonData.recommendation_request.id
      );
    }
  });

I'm not with a computer right now to further check if I got the same and exactly what I did after, but you are right.

I remember now that it didn't work by purely converting it, so I tried to fill the blanks manually. And then I found this error.

So it is probably two separate bugs.

OK thanks a lot for your help. Going to build a fix.
