Using JSON Schema in Postman (via an environment variable)
Raw
json-schema.js
// Load the JSON Schema
const customerSchema = JSON.parse(environment.customerSchema);
// Test whether the response matches the schema
var customer = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["Customer is valid"] = tv4.validate(customer, customerSchema);

@JamesMessinger thanks so much!!! You have no idea how much this code snippet has helped me and other co-workers of mine... I was able to solve this 'false to be truthy' error by adding in 'false, true' in the .validate function ... the failed test passed after this addition -

var customer = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["Customer is valid"] = tv4.validate(customer, false, true, customerSchema);

Postman just published a video showing how to validate JSON schemas. I recommend watching it, since it goes into far more detail than my little code snippet does.
