The Postman plugin provides a means to run Postman Collections (multiple testsuites) and a specific folder within a collection defined in Postman. The entire collection must be exported to a file or the postman collection URL(http or https) must be provided as an input to this plugin. Collection must contain one or more test suites, with one or more tests cases defined. FlexDeploy Plugin supports Postman Integration using Newman utility(command line collection runner for Postman).
Supported Versions
The Postman plugin has been tested with Postman version 6.0.9, 6.0.10 running on Windows and Linux Endpoints. Newman is runs best with the version 6.0.10, but the test results will be identical across the versions of Postman.
Newman is built on Node.js. Node.js must be installed and Newman should be configured globally on the endpoint system so that it can be run from anywhere.
Node.js needs to be setup in the system environment path of the endpoint before running the plugin operation. If this setup is not done, plugin will try to set up the same in the end point and then proceed with the collection runner.
- Tested against the latest version 3.9.3 of Newman with the current version 6.0.10 of Postman collections.
