Describe the feature you want to add

Hi,

I have read #2597 which clarified the situation of execution sequence of scripts at different levels: collection folder, request.

Unfortunately the current sandwich flow almost make it impossible to import a Postman collection without massive changes. All tests at collection or folder level must be duplicated to the requests. Doing so will result in a working but unmaintainable collection.

So I want to get a separation of "Post Response" and "Tests" in to different sections: before request and after request

Following my idea will meet all requirements:

1. Easier import collections from Postman
2. Fulfill the wishes of the users who voted for the sandwich flow

The reason for having both "before request" and "after request" is that i plan:

1. providing function definitions for all requests used in der prost response and tests section
2. Based on the result of the response I can implement a conditional workflow easier when scripts are also executed after the response (as described in Proposal: Conditional Workflow #1100)

The following diagram illustrates the execution sequence:

For Folder an Collections the dialog can look like these:

I feel like this would overcomplicate things. The better (and already planned) solution was to have a toggle Sandwich & natural flow on collection level: #2639

Hi @Its-treason,

thanks for your reply.

I rethink my feature request and edited it.

The advantage of having both also is that at collection/folder level I can define generally used functions on one hand and on the other the after having the response at collection/folder level I can decide how to continue with the conditional workflow.

Kind Regards
Thomas
