newman: Unexpected end of file at request

I created one hyper simple collection. A single call with this in the Tests:

var token = postman.getResponseHeader("Authorization");
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("token", token);

tests["Successfully authenticated"] = token !== null;

In the GUI, it runs successfully. Running with newman, it does show a checkmark next to the “Successfully authenticated” test, but there’s still an [errored] which I imagine is because of the unexpected end of file at request. I’m running node v5.7.1 and newman v3.1.2

I’m not sure if this is related to https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman/issues/319 or not.

Well, I fixed it. I’m not sure if this is considered a bug or what, but (I’ll share heavily heavily reduced code):

Like I said, the HttpResponse was lacking any body content, and was just sending back header data.

So, I went from:

public HttpResponseMessage Post(LoginModel data)
{
    var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);
    response.Headers.Add("Foo", "Bar " + token.Value);
    return response;
}

to this:

public HttpResponseMessage Post(LoginModel data)
{
    var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);
    response.Headers.Add("Foo", "Bar " + token.Value);
    response.Content = new StringContent(Json.Encode(new Dictionary<string, dynamic> {{"Name", "Jared"}}));
    return response;
}

And all is well!
