[Newman] HTML reporter

 Testing   Newman   Postman  

 

▌Introduction

---

This article shows how to use Newman and HTML reporter(DannyDainton/newman-reporter-htmlextra) to generate the API test report by command.

 

▌Environment

---

▋Postman v9.15.6

▋Newman 5.3.2

 

 

 

▌Implement

---

 

▋Install Packages

 

$ npm install -g newman
$ npm install -g newman-reporter-htmlextra

▋Export collection and environment variables from POSTMAN as json files

 

(Optional) remember to export variables of target environment from Postman if you use variables on the Postman’s requests.

 

 

├─ Demo.postman_collection.json
└─ Localhost.postman_environment.json

 

You can have the test scripts in Postman’s Tests, that will be also tested and show in the later HTML report.

 

e.q.

 

 

▋Run tests and export report

 

The following command will generate the HTML report "newman/Demo-2022-03-27-16-23-46-288-0.html".

 

$ newman run "Demo.postman_collection.json" --insecure -e "Localhost.postman_environment.json" -r htmlextra

 

 

The HTML report includes request, response and the result of test scripts.
