Error: Duplicate request initiated.

Hi, i wonder if you can help me.
I'm trying to make api request with token which i previously get from another endpoint, but second call always shows error described in the heading.

I use cucumber to run tests and here is my code:

First request:
async function getUserToken(envShortened: string): Promise<void> { const response = await spec.post(linksForAuthorizationTokenByEnvironment[envShortened]) .withHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Authorization': ${credentialsForEnvironment[envShortened]}`,
})
.withBody('grant_type=client_credentials&scope=')
.expectStatus(200).toss();

return response.body.access_token;

}`

That request returns the token and then i'm trying to pass it to the next request:
async function searchAPIRequestToEnv(envShortened: string, token: any) { spec.post(getSearchEndpoint(envShortened)) .withHeaders({ 'authorization': `Bearer ${token}`, 'content-type': 'application/json' }) .withJson('test-data/search.json') .expectStatus(200) }

And i'm always getting:
[0-0] Error in "0: I have entered certain search criteria for "TEST""
Error: Duplicate request initiated. Existing request - POST - and link to my token access request

What am i doing wrong? :)

Welcome to PactumJS Discussions & Thanks a lot for using this library.

pactum.spec()

pactum.spec() in general represents a single API request & response. In short, it is designed for just making a single request. If we want to make additional requests, invoke pactum.spec() as many times as required.

Solution

You might need to update your function searchAPIRequestToEnv as below

async function searchAPIRequestToEnv(envShortened: string, token: any) { 
  await pactum.spec()
    .post(getSearchEndpoint(envShortened))
    .withHeaders({
      'authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
      'content-type': 'application/json'
    })
     .withJson('test-data/search.json')
     .expectStatus(200)
}
