How to simulate GET method with 500 error?

To simulate a GET method with a 500 error in Postman, follow these steps:

  1. Open Postman and create a new request for the server you want to test.
  2. Select the GET method under the “Request” tab.
  3. In the “Params” tab, enter any query parameters required for the GET request.
  4. In the “Headers” tab, add any headers required for the GET request.
  5. In the “Tests” tab, add the following code to simulate a 500 error:
pm.test("Test 500 error response", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(500);
    pm.response.to.have.jsonBody({
        "error": "Internal Server Error"
    });
});
  1. Save the request and send it to the server.
  2. If the server sends a 500 error response, the test will pass. If the server sends a response with any other status code or error message, the test will fail.

Note: You need to ensure that the server is set up to return a 500 error for the specific request you’re testing. If the server is not configured to return a 500 error, the test will not fail. You may need to work with the server development team to simulate a 500 error for testing purposes.
