Adding a script causes unexpected request failure

[ftiercelin]

Expected Behavior

In scratchpad mode, I created a request that does a GET on https://www.google.com I ran the request successfully. I then added an after-response script that does: console.log("hello!");

Actual Behavior

after adding the script, the request consistently fails with error: Execute after-response script failed: TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Reproduction Steps

in scratchpad mode:

1. create a new HTTP request doing a GET to https://www.google.com
2. add a script (e.g. console.log("hello"); )
3. execute script

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

forgot to mention that I'm only seeing this in scratchpad mode - not seeing this in "normal" mode

This is weird, I can't reproduce, probably I missed something. Is there any folder-level script? Could you check this:

1. Go to "help" menu, click "show/hide hidden window"
2. Click the hidden window, go to top menu "view" -> "toggle devTools"
3. Send the problematic request
4. see is there any error in the devTool -> Console Tab (see screenshot 2)

Thank you for the detailed report.

Thanks @ihexxa for looking into this, I tried the help menu but could not locate the show/hide option you were referring to:

I ran again the query (which failed for the same reason), here are the console logs: insomnia_console_scratchpad.txt

I looked in the folder, no script:

might be worth mentioning that:

1. I used google here as an example, the behaviour applies to any url I tried
2. we're behind a Zscaler proxy (don't think that could play a role, but...)

[ihexxa]

I tried to enable the proxy in the scratchpad mode still not able to reproduce it. I may improve the error message to help identify it in the next.

[ftiercelin]

Thanks @ihexxa, I'll retry when the next version is pushed out.

Hello @ftiercelin , would you mind to update to 10.1, which provides more information and could be helpful for us to identify the issue.

[ftiercelin]

Hi @ihexxa , I upgraded to 10.0.1, logout, started scratchpad mode. I can't provide you logs of the failure, because, well.... it's not failing anymore 👍 I have added a pre script (in addition to the existing after script), still works fine.

[ftiercelin]

no longer failing after upgrading to 10.0.1

I ran into a similar issue. When there's content in the pre-script, the HTTP proxy turns into NaN.

Thanks @FunkySamuel37, it's revealing, let me check.
