I created a collection in Postman which contains a single request, I am running the collection by uploading a test case (.csv) file, It's working perfectly.
But I want to do the same via Newman. So I have installed the Newman and I have copied my collection link from the Postman, and but I don't know how to pass the test case file to it?
I tried this:
newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/944624fbc40ec677902e -d /path/to/file
but it's not working.

My postman tests runs well and passes when i run the collection in postman. I've exported and saved my Postman collection.json into a folder, but when running the json file using Newman, all tests fails. some of the errors are:-
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND {{baseurl}} at request
expected { Object (id, _details, ...) } to have property 'code' at assertion:0 in test-script
Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 at test-script
Export your environment file as json. Pass it in the newman command line as "-e" parameter.
$ newman run yourcollectionfile.json -e yourenvironmentfile.json
When running postman, you also have to specify the environment file you are using. Documentation for this is found here: https://learning.postman.com/docs/running-collections/using-newman-cli/command-line-integration-with-newman/
you have to use a local variable in your exported collection . i was facing the simliar issue made all variables as local and my test passed.
I have made a POSTMAN COLLECTION that tests GOOGLE BOOKS API responses to POST requests.
I run this collection with NEWMAN and 2 environment variables : apiKey and dynamicToken.
I then push the project on github using TRAVIS CI to run the tests.
I am encountering remote authentification issues.
While locally (postman or newman cli) authentification works fine : responses status code 200
Once deployed and ran with TRAVIS authentification fails : responses status code 401
I have tried several ways to set the variables that handles authentification.
And finally to isolate the issue I ran the command with hard scripted apyKey and Token.
Here is the command that works locally but not on TRAVIS:
newman run gbook_test.postman_collection.json --env-var "apiKey=<apikeyValue>" --env-var "dynamicToken=<tokenValue>" -d gbook_test.postman_datas.json
Where
<apikeyValue>: is the valid value of my apikey,
<tokenValue>: is the valid value of my token.
What am I missing ?
Thanks.
Pre condition:
I have Newman installed.
My collection and environment .json files work fine in postman
Problem
When I run this command "newman run collection.json –e env.json" via powershell on my local machine or via CI using the "postman/newman_alpine33" docker.
I get this error:
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/student/create [errored]
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND {{baseurl}}
The {{baseURL}} is referring to environment variable in the env.json that should be used in the collection.json.
Take note: I have tried this with other terminals as well and problems still exist.
Solution: There was an extra space between run and collection.json, when I removed the space then it worked. Must be like this: "newman run collection.json –e env.json"
and NOT like this"newman run collection.json –e env.json"
also, make sure your values are stored in initial and current
I have a collection which I would like to run iterative (data-driven) tests against, but I have an auth folder which I only want to run during the first iteration of the collection run.
Is this possible?
I know I could separate the folder out into its own Collection, and store the variable - but, I am not sure if this will behave properly in my CI testing pipeline. Hoping for a solution specific to my question.

EDIT: I was able to come up with a solution that nearly solves my problem.
In the pre-request script of the first request in the folder I want to skip, I added:
if (typeof(varSetInItrZero) === "string") {
postman.setNextRequest("theRequestIWant");
}
Only outstanding issue, is that it continues to send the current request anyway. Any way to tell Postman to skip the current request in a given pre-request script?
Final answer:
I (finally) tried to configure this purely via command-line (using three separate collections). This effort was successful.
My solution..
call newman run setup.json -e environment.json -g globals.json --export-environment environment.json -r cli
call newman run collection.json -e environment.json -g globals.json --export-environment environment.json -r cli,htmlextra
call newman run teardown.json -e environment.json -g globals.json --export-environment environment.json -r cli
exit
I had two separate postman collection preReq.json and postReq.json which has different set of request.
from preReq collection I'm getting some value which I need to pass on second collection postReq.json
Both collection are using same environment file
Is there any way to pass environment variables to different collection suit
command:
newman run preReq.json -e Demo_Beta.json -k
newman run postReq.json -e Demo_Beta.json -k
I want to set a value which i get from preReq.json to postReq.json
In Postman:
You could save your dynamic value in your environment.
In preReq.json - Tests tab:
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("value", value);
Now in your second collection postReq.json you can just reference this value with {{value}} in the URL editor.
If you want to reference your value in tests you can use:
postman.getEnvironmentVariable('value')' or postman['value'].
After you're done with your requests & tests you can clear the variable with:
postman.clearEnvironmentVariable("value");
In newman:
You could use the following combination:
newman run preReq.json -e Demo_Beta.json -k --export-environment Demo_Beta.json
newman run postReq.json -e Demo.Beta.json -k
The problem is the exported JSON file is not correct and misses the name property. I'll open an issue for that on the newman Github repository. For now you'll have to add name property manually.
