Is there a way to include Soft Assert in Postman tests?

So that it should not stop the deployment in Pipeline if any of the tests fail.

Unfortunately, soft assertions with a test are not possible at the moment in Postman tests.

However, an alternative is to simply split the tests up into different tests.

This:

pm.test('Status code is 201', () => {
    pm.response.to.have.status(201);
});

const json = pm.response.json();

pm.test('Idea External Id is present', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('external_id')
        .to.have.lengthOf(16);

    pm.environment.set("idea-external-id", json.external_id);
});

pm.test('Expected Idea is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('title', 'Make Bed $0.50');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('description', 'Make your bed.');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.nested.property('call_to_action.uri', 'https://youtu.be/Du0M6yVjKlA');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.nested.property('call_to_action.label', 'Instructional Video');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('key', 'chore_chart');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('created_at');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('updated_at');
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.nested.property('_links.self.href')
        .to.match(new RegExp(`.+/idea/${pm.environment.get("idea-external-id")}`));
});

Becomes this:

pm.test('Status code is 201', () => {
    pm.response.to.have.status(201);
});

const json = pm.response.json();

pm.test('Idea External Id is present', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('external_id')
        .to.have.lengthOf(16);

    pm.environment.set("idea-external-id", json.external_id);
});

pm.test('Expected Idea title is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('title', 'Make Bed $0.50');
});

pm.test('Expected Idea description is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('description', 'Make your bed.');
});

pm.test('Expected Idea call_to_action.uri is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.nested.property('call_to_action.uri', 'https://youtu.be/Du0M6yVjKlA');
});

pm.test('Expected Idea call_to_action.uri is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.nested.property('call_to_action.label', 'Instructional Video');
});

pm.test('Expected Idea key is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('key', 'chore_chart');
});

pm.test('Idea created_at is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('created_at');
});

pm.test('Idea updated_at is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.property('updated_at');
});

pm.test('Expected Idea _links is returned', () => {
    pm.expect(json)
        .to.have.nested.property('_links.self.href')
        .to.match(new RegExp(`.+/idea/${pm.environment.get("idea-external-id")}`));
});
