![]() Newman supports defining (or overriding) Variables at execution time using the -e flag and pointing to a JSON file defining the “environment”. Fortunately in the sample Collection, this information was defined using Variables. Postman is used to build HTTP requests that we send to the server running the API. ![]() If running these tests inside of a CI pipeline or other environment, the connection and authentication information may be different. Lesson 1 - Welcome - Main ideas Lesson 2 - What is Postman - Main ideas Postman is a tool that allows us to easily work with APIs. The Postman collection featured in the sample project contains six different requests. A single request can have multiple Tests associated with it. Tests are then created to confirm specific aspects of the response (body contents, status codes, etc.). ![]() For a detailed documentation on each feature, check out Variables ¶ All variables can be manually set using the Postman GUI and are scoped. Postman Newman - Requests that work in Postman fail in Newman with ETIMEDOUT. If I export the collection locally and run it, it works perfectly but when I change the local (exported JSON file). Requests can be used to simulate a possible response/outcome of the REST API. Postman Cheat Sheet is based on the official Postman documentation and own experience. Ihave tried according to Newman documentation to run a URL collection. Tests created with Postman are centered around Requests. This Collection can be imported into Postman locally for reference. The remainder of this article will cover the various aspects of creating and executing the Postman Test Collection, which is available as part of the sample project here. The project README.md contains instructions on how to run the REST API, and execute the tests from the command-line with Newman. I posted a project containing a sample Node.js REST API and Postman tests to GitHub. With the Newman add-on, Postman test collections can easily be run from the command-line, providing a simply way to execute them as part of a code build or CI process. Postman’s internal test runner can execute tests simply by selecting “Run collection” from the Collection’s three-dot context menu. Tests can include custom logic that tests any part of the response (body contents, status codes, headers, etc.).
