[Feature Request] Show Response Payload in Timeline in case of Post-Response Error

[muya]

Scenario

Take this Bruno Request as an example:

meta {  
  name: HTTP Bin Get Anything  
  type: http  
  seq: 3  
}  
  
post {  
  url: https://httpbin.org/anything  
  body: json  
  auth: none  
}  
  
headers {  
  accept: application/json  
}  
  
body:json {  
  {  
    "test": "hello Bruno"  
  }  
}  
  
vars:post-response {  
  unknown_field: res.body.arguments.unknown_field  
}

We are using httpbin.org to echo our request payload.

In the post response, we're attempting to set the value of unknown_field to a non-existent field (In a real use-case, this could be a result of an unexpected payload in the response).

Due to this configuration, we get the following error in the response tab:

Error invoking remote method 'send-http-request': TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'unknown_field')

This is expected because the response payload has no field named arguments.

In the Timeline tab, the following content is shown:

> POST https://httpbin.org/anything

> accept: application/json

> content-type: application/json

> data {"test":"hello Bruno"}

< Error

Feature Request

In this scenario, show the raw response payload in the "Timeline tab". This would make it easier to understand why the parsing of the response failed in post-response, without having to check the backend server for the response it sent back.

Would it be possible as part of this request to include the timestamp as part of the raw output? The timeline currently does not display time at all

Similar to #2005

I've created #2324 to solve #2005

While it doesn't solve the problem as you expected (still doesn't show response payload in Timeline) it solves the problem of visualization the response payload when there is some errors when evaluation post response variables.

@muya Let me know if #2324 is also an acceptable solution for you and if it can also fix this issue
