Hey @RajarshiAnthology! Sorry that you are facing this issue.

Looking at the error in the screenshot and the collection that was shared, I don't see any direct usages of the in operator, but I do see the Post-response script loading some utility code via:

eval(postman.getGlobalVariable("gApiUtility"));

which might be causing the issue here. If so, the error might be originating from an incorrect usage of the in operator (Reference).

Could you confirm if that's not the case and help us investigate it further? Also, to double-check, did this start to error only after the recent update (i.e. worked previously) and no other changes were made in the scripts (or the utility code)?

Hi Appruva, I uninstalled the latest version of Postman 11.23 and installed a version 9 scratchpad. I am able to run the exact test and scenario from that without any issue. Its the new version which is failing all my test with the exact same error, even the test that are existing and are good. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Hi there, been a long time, I have been using the older scratchpad version of postman, since the 18th of December 2024 update, the POSTMANs latest versions have been useless, was there any update on this?
