[Help] How to check for invalid URL

[tho-gru-38]

Hi,

I just switched to Bruno version 3.5.0

I often have requests where the URL came from a (environment) variable.

You can take this example request for testing (for simplicity I used a usual Bruno variable, which is set in the pre request script):

meta {
  name: Check URL valid
  type: http
  seq: 8
}

get {
  url: {{dynamicURL}}
  body: none
  auth: inherit
}

script:pre-request {
  console.log("pre request");
  
  bru.setVar("dynamicURL", "https://jsonplaceholder.org/users");
  bru.setVar("dynamicURL", "https://error-in-url.org/users");
}

script:post-response {
  console.log("post response");
}

tests {
  console.log("tests");
}

settings {
  encodeUrl: true
  timeout: 0
}

If the code line containing error-in-url.org is commented out, the request works fine. But when error-in-url.org is used, neither post request nor tests are executed. Therefore I cannot check if a URL is valid or not by using a test-command.

In former versions of Bruno (e.g. version 2.15.1) all the sections were executed so I was able to detect errors in variables.

Any ideas to check for bad URL to terminate collection run?

Kind Regards
