Running collection requests in pre request / post response requests

[scflode]

Just was wondering about how to run requests (e.g. authentication) from within a pre request script. It's all possible with Axios manually and you can even use variables defined.

The point of the idea here is if it's possible to have something like bru.run("Request name") basically wrapping the Axios ceremony.

Yes, We will support this soon.

There is an alternative too.
You can basically define the entire axios ceremony inside a file.
And then require that file and just call it - see #385 (comment)

If you need something to be run for every request in the collection, Bruno now has support for collection level scripting

Oh thanks. Thought about the script part as well. Went with a collection script for now. It’s perfectly fine 👍 for what I’m using.
Bruno is already extremely powerful 💪

Yes, We will support this soon.

Is there a spot, where I can track the progress of implementation of this feature?
I am also highly interested in such a "bru.run(request name)" feature.

This one works fine : bru.setNextRequest("request name");

We would also be highly interested in the feature to run one request and be able to use the outputs. It would improve our testing codebase by a lot.

This one works fine : bru.setNextRequest("request name");

That seems to successfully run the request after the current request when I put it in the Pre Request Script section. First run with this syntax fails due to missing token, but a quick subsequent run pulls that "nextRequest" from a stored variable perfectly. I think the feature we are looking for is run this "pre request" as the original poster said, bru.run or maybe bru.runRequest("request name").

Thanks for sharing that idea though @groblochon!
