Sadly I don't think they never understood the actual goal of it. And just added github to sync to or something like that. Which isn't what I was looking for.
I use IntellIJ and the http client does it and it works very well. But sadly the rest of the http client is annoying just basic stuff like reading the response is always a few more clicks than I want and compared to Insomnia so much harder.
- kodah 5y agoWhy not spend your time making E2E tests faster and write a thin http client for testing that you can run as part of your testing framework?
- pmontra 5y agoI'm not the parent poster. Your question assumes that Postman / curl / anything are used to test something. I generally use those kind of tools to explore an API and I write tests later if I use it or never if the team decides to use something else. After all a project defines very few APIs but consumes a lot of them from external entities, at least in the projects I'm working on.
- netcraft 5y agoI agree with you about IntelliJ, its great, but rough edges. Wish I could cmd+enter to run things too.
- jicea 5y agoI suggest you could try Hurl (https://hurl.dev https://hurl.dev). It’s a cli tool to send and test HTTP requests, in plain text. As I’m one of the maintainer, I find it quite readable…
