api - Is it possible to have several pm.test() inside a pm.test()

Question

Is it possible to have several pm.test() inside a pm.test()? In such a way that if any of the inner pm.test() fails, the outer pm.test() will also fail. And if no inner pm.test() fails, the outer pm.test() passes.

My requirement is similar to how pm.expect() works. But i want to use pm.test() instead so i can the status of each test in the Test Results tab.

My code is below.

var response = pm.response.json()
pm.test("Test scenario 1", ()=> {
    
    pm.test("Checking response code", ()=> {
        pm.expect(response.code).to.eql(200);
    });
    
    pm.test("Checking response message", ()=> {
        pm.expect(response.message).to.eql('OK');
    });
   
    //more pm test
});

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

pm.test("Test scenario 1", ()=> {
    
    pm.test("Checking response code", ()=> {
        pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.eql(200);
    });
    
    pm.test("Checking response message", ()=> {
        pm.expect(pm.response.status).to.eql('5OK');
    });
   
    //more pm test
});

you can have but the output will show this as three tests only and result of internal test won't affect the out side abstraction

so in short you can but it won't give the behavior as you except
