The full list of usage instructions for Newman is available from Github here. Specifies the options for the reporter format declared above. Specifies the format of the reporter output. Specifies the number of times the collection will be run when used in conjunction with our all_environments data file.ĭisables SSL verification checks and allows self-signed SSL certificates. Running the tests against all environments we listed in the JSON file above. Running the example-synth-json test collection we exported earlier. In this case we are running Newman with the following configuration options: "test" : "newman run collections/example-synth-tests.json -d envs/all_environments.json -n 4 -insecure -reporters cli,html,junit -reporter-junit-export reports/ -reporter-html-export reports/" Let’s create a simple test in javascript to check a status code of 200 is returned from the endpoint: Add some variables for these by clicking on the gear icon on the top right hand corner:Īfter you have added all the environments you can access them from each request by replacing the base url with the variable you just created: For instance, both CLI tools allow you to run the requests in a Postman Collection. These CLI tools operate in very similar ways, as we will see in this blog post. Once you have a collection of requests built up you may want to run these against different environments. Postman’s original CLI tool was called Newman (yes, it was named after the Seinfeld character), and in the fall of 2022, we introduced the new Postman CLI as part of Postman v10.

Here’s how to do it! Create a collectionįirstly use Postman to start building up a collection of requests for the new endpoint: No additional test framework, and minimal amount of code ( javascript ) needed. However after doing some research and in particular looking up some of Danny Dainton’s excellent guides, I realised it’s much simpler to create the tests in Postman and run these directly as part of the CI/CD pipeline. In the past I’ve used different test frameworks, rest clients and a variety of coding languages for this task. The next step is usually to consider how to automate these checks. I start building up collections of different types of requests and verifying the correct response is returned in each case.
Whenever I have to test API endpoints Postman is always my first port of call.
