Multiple pre requests for a single target

[shawnferry]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Attempts to create multiple pre requests targeting the same request/action/target result in a circular dependency error.

• I have an access_token refresh request which requires a valid refresh_token.
• refresh_token and access_token expire on a known schedule.
• I have two collections a helper/reference collection and a sample collection.
  • The sample collection PreReq calls Reference -> Refresh Token every X minutes
  • The sample collection PreReq calls Reference -> Refresh Token once OR if access_token is empty (either of these creates the circular dependency error)
• I want to call my Reference -> Get Token request as a PreReq from my Reference -> Refresh Token when either:
  • refresh_token has expired (Run every X minutes)
  • refresh_token once OR if it is not defined

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to create multiple pre requests for the same collection -> request target.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• PreReqs invisibly grouped on collection -> request, evaluated in the order defined, and stop after the first match.
• PreReqs have multiple execution conditions and stop after first match.

Hi @shawnferry

if you ignore the error, what happens? Will the access token and refresh token working for the remaining requests?

can you share screenshot of Pre-Run tab? just want to look at it?

Is it all requests causing circular error or only a particular single request?

[shawnferry]

If I ignore the error it fails continuously once the tokens have expired. If the access token is valid everything it emits the error and continues to work as desired.

If I then manually run either get token or refresh token it will start working again.

Hi @rangav

For the example collection every request has the error from the collection level Pre-Run. For the support collection only the refresh request has the error.

Thanks for sharing will look into it.

This happens with any request with multiple pre requests. One pre request works. Two pre requests results in no pre requests running.
