Postman Test using switch statement for HTTP status codes

Question

I'm trying to create a test in Postman to return different text responses depending on the outcome of the switch statement. However, i'm not sure why it says no tests available when i click 'run' I have my Get method set up correctly as when i execute it on its own it returns e.g. 200 OK. I have the below:

var statMessages ;

switch (statMessages) {
  case '500':
    console.log('Internal Server Error.');
    break;
  case '200':
    console.log('200 Ok');
    break;
  case '503':
    console.log('Service unavailable.');
    break;
  case '502':
    console.log('502 bad gateway.');
    break;
  case '599':
    console.log('Network connect timeout error.');
    break;
  case '408':
    console.log('Request timedout.');
    break;
  default:
   console.log('Sorry, we are out of ' + statMessages + '.');
}
console.log("Try again?");

If I don't misunderstood your question then I think you should try like this way. Grab HTTP Status Code like on your statMessages

var statMessages = responseCode.code; // it'll return numeric code e.g 200

switch (statMessages) {
  case 500:
    tests["Internal Server Error."] = statMessages === 500;
    break;
  case 200:
    tests["200 Ok"] = statMessages === 200;
    break;
  case 503:
    tests["Service unavailable."] = statMessages === 503;
    break;
  case 502:
    tests["502 bad gateway."] = statMessages === 502;
    break;
  case 599:
    tests["Network connect timeout error."] = statMessages === 599;
    break;
  case 408:
    tests["Request timedout."] = statMessages === 408;
    break;
  default:
    tests["Sorry, we are out of" + responseCode.code]
}
