    Hey jlivingston,

    I get what youre saying...its annoying not knowing the reason.
    I think the only way youd be able to nail this down is to do a bit of research to determine what version of postman is supported by the readyapi! plugin and then look at any release notes to try and get an understanding of what is supported.
    Along with this you could try identifying all the variances from a simple collection that are contained within the collection you want to import (e.g. parameterisation, use of global variables, javascript assertions, etc.) and then create a single collection for each of these additional extras to work out which function could be the problem. Trial and error....call it experimental testing!

    Reason why im saying this is a couple of years ago, if the collection included host or rest parms the import would fail.

    Nice one,
