Postman Scratch Patcher

This node script changes behavior of a Postman application to be used locally (without online services) in a following way:

• sets environment to work on scratchpad with collections (even when Postman is in the "Lighweight API Client mode")
• disables "ScratchPad is obsolete" pop-ups
• disables yellow top bar informing that you are "Working locally in Scratch pad. Switch to WORKSPLACE"

REMARK: Your local Scratch Pad collections will be removed after executing this script (at least for now)

Requirements

• Windows (at this moment you can't patch Postman for Linux)
• node (command available in the PATH)
• asar (command available in the PATH, you can install this npm package by: npm install -g asar)
• Postman installed and run at least once

How-to

Step 1. Install the latest version of Postman (Windows 64-bit) from the official website (run Postman at least once before this script)

Step 2. Install dependencies: npm install -g asar

Step 3. Execute a script

• node postman-scratchpatcher.js -h shows help
• node postman-scratchpatcher.js patch patches a Postman to work in Scratch Pad offline mode
• node postman-scratchpatcher.js patch --remove-lightweight patches a Postman and removes a "Lightweight HTTP mode". *THIS REMOVES YOUR SAVED COLLECTIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS"

Now, you can run a Postman in the offline Scratch Pad mode.

You have to use Postman-Scratch-Patcher after an update. You can REALLY disable updates by removing a file %localappdata%\Postman\Update.exe

After executing you will see the following:

After executing you will not see the following:
