Question - Does Postman allow flexibility to make use of the command-line?
Answer -
Postman provides a command-line tool called Newman using which we can run any Postman collection. It is a NodeJS based package that requires a node environment for executing collections using Newman Collection Runner. It has full parity with Postman’s Collection Runner i.e it provides support for running assertions, pre-request scripts, or other request scripts linked with the requests that belong to the collection.
We can use Newman by following the below steps:
- Install Node
- Install Newman package using npm command as: npm install -g newman
- To run the collection, first export the environment to JSON format in Postman. Then run the below command for running the collection in Newman:
newman run {{path to collection json}} -e {{path to environment json}}
