I have requests grouped into folders for re-use and clarity. One folder for example handles checking status codes and looping until a response is received.

I am trying to use setNextRequest (I'm migrating from Postman) to manage the workflow progress.

I've tried using

• setNextRequest("checkResponse")
• setNextRequest("folder/checkResponse")
• setNextRequest("folder/checkResponse.bru")

When executing the request through the runner it simply completes and doesn't proceed to the checkResponse

The setNextRequest method does not execute a request, it only sets which request has to be executed next when a collection is run. When executing a single request containing setNextRequest in the post-request or test script, the request referred to will not be run.

What you probably need is the runRequest method, which will invoke the referred to request.

const response = await bru.runRequest("folder/checkResponse");
