Duplicate a request when the Postman desktop app has been open for some time and the copy has a blank URL and no headers #13219

Open boeky3108 opened 1 month ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

I’ve noticed this in the most recent version of Postman, I am a heavy user so often have numerous multiple tabs open. Version: Postman v11.17.0 Windows 10

Pre req settings of note: Auto Save is switched on. Many tabs open. Postman open and running for several hours.

Duplicate a request in a collection folder, I then move it to another folder and check the URL and it is blank and so are the headers.

Workaround If I shutdown Postman and re-open Postman the URL and headers are then populated as if my magic!

Sneaky suspicion it’s due to some kind of memory issue in the app, as I have also encountered issues where sometimes I am just unable to set a global variable and I can’t fathom out why and then I restart Postman and the test works with the variable being populated.

Steps To Reproduce

Have Postman desktop app open and have many tabs open. You may need to have the app open all day. Duplicate a request and check the copy. I am sometimes seeing no URL and no Headers.

This is is then rectified if I close Postman and re-open it. URL is then populated along with the headers.

Hello,

I just add that also Scripts, Body, Params and Authorization is not populared into the duplicated request. It seems that only request type (GET/POST...) is copied. I encounter this issue also with around four of five opened tabs.

Thank you and good luck with the fix! Ioreth

I am also having the same issue! and yes, the duplicated request will be shown once postman restarted

Its very frustrating, since i rely with this feature (duplicate request) on my daily basis as a Tester

Hi @spartacruz @ioreth @boeky3108 I just had this same question when duplicating a request and found that when I renamed the request the data would come in successfully (beyond request type).

I'll alert the internal team of this issue, thank you so much for reporting!
