I'm noticing that any changes to tests in Postman isn't reflected when running in Newman.
Example:
In Postman, I change the following text from '200ms' to '100ms'
console.log("Hello World!");
pm.test("C6 Verify response time is less than 100ms", function () {
pm.expect(pm.response.responseTime).to.be.below(100);
Postman screenshot
But in Newman, it is still getting '200ms'
GET https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2 [200 OK, 2.06KB, 172ms]
┌
│ 'Hello World!'
└
√ C6 Verify response time is less than 200ms
Newman screenshot
Is there a way to clear the cache or something?
So that Newman gets the latest test changes from Postman?
Postman doesn't store/sync collection and environment with the exported json file. You have to do it manually. Export collection and environment as json file if you want the new changes to get reflected in nemman
Update:
as you are using public url link you have to update the link manually as the link won't get updated automatically:

Problem is that I'm trying to change the settings of the website with POST and would like to confirm that the settings changed with a new GET request after the change, but as I'm running the collection it's just running the tests but not the POST itself, POST does not have any response so there's nothing to check there.
I hope that I was clear enough explaining my problem.
Thanks Guys!
If I'm understanding this correctly:
You have two requests and want to run the GET immediately after the POST. This can simply be done by using environment variables and SetNextRequest.
Be careful of entering an infinite loop because Collections run top down; if your GET request was before the POST request. It may be better to duplicate your GET request and place it below the POST.
A Post to {{base_url}}/website
Within the Pre-request Script set your new settings to your environment
pm.environment.set("setting1", "newValue");
Within the Body if your sending raw json for example use that variable
{
"setting1": "{{setting1}}"
}
Postman still runs the Test section you don't need a pm.test it's essentially a Post-request Script. Tell Postman to run the GET request next:
postman.setNextRequest("Get Website Settings");
From your Get request within Tests section validate the setting is correct
pm.test("Setting has been updated to" + {setting1}, function() {
var actualSetting = pm.response.json().setting1;
pm.expect(actualSetting).is.eql({setting1});
});
I'm using Postman automate an API with Newman.But the response body of the API call is not showing in the newman.
var body = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["Response Body ", body] = true;
I have tried the above code,but even after successful API call the response is not printing in the "Test results" tab.
the output of above is showing as,
PASS [object Object]
Any suggestions to print the API response will be of great help.
Thanks in advance!
I assume you're using the cli reporter with Newman, you could just add a console.log(pm.response.json()) statement to the Tests tab.
That should print out the response body on the console during the Newman run.
If you wanted something to show you all the details of the Newman run in a separate report, you could also use a different reporter, like this HTML one ;)

We can use "send and download" option in Postman to download a response file. Do we have any option or command to download a file(eg excel) using Newman command in newman's current working directory?
you may have a look at: https://www.npmjs.com/package/newman#newman-run-collection-file-source-options.
You can use reporters :
add:
-r json
then add
--reporter-json-export <path/file.json>
in your newman run command options and it will output a json report file.
If you want other formats, check the other reporters (html, junit and cli) with their respective options.
warning: dont put spaces when you set them (ie. -r cli,json,html)

There is not currently any way to download the JSON response body to a file outside of Postman. The reporters available for Newman only give the results of the collection query and tests, but do not include the body response of the original GET request.
Looks like it is not there as of this comment

A workaround is available in this bug, that might be useful !
I am using newman tool to run my postman tests on command line. Get and Post method seems to be working fine but Delete method is not deleting the resource but give status 200 OK. Please see the screen shot. On Postman gui tool it works fine.
I copied the curl from chrome network tool while performing DELETE using POSTMAN Chrome client and saw that it does use postman token in the request header. Added Postman Token to header for Delete operation in newman and it works fine.
I am using the Postman Collection Runner to run the same request multiple times using iterations. My tests work as expected, but I'm not able to see the individual responses for each request.
Is it possible to view the responses for requests in the Postman Collection Runner?
In the latest version of Postman you can see all the data from the collection run for each individual request.
In the Collection Runner, Click on the request name and all the details of the request and response can be viewed.
More information can be going on the Debugging using the Request & Response body section of this page
This might help somebody, I tried
pm.test(responseBody, true)
and this printed the response in run summary.
Let me add more details about the shadowcharly solution.
Your results may be viewed if you assign responseBody variable to tests array (in Tests tab)
tests["body"] = responseBody
and export it as json (on the interface you only see the zero/one results if test passed or not).
It's not very useful but this is the only way I've found.
If you are repeating exactly the same query, you could use the test name to show the result:
tests['Test to see value of key Key'+ keyValue] = testResult....
You will have a different test for each value received, not exactly a log, but works fantastic ;)
I know this is old, but postman has added a feature in the collection runner.
