[Question] How can I run Newman from the command line?

[svarshney2311]

Good day. I am new to run Newman. COuld you please tell the steps to execute below command: like if this code has to update anywhere than run command line or ??

const newman = require('newman'); // require newman in your project

// call newman.run to pass options object and wait for callback
newman.run({
collection: require('./sample-collection.json'),
reporters: 'cli'
}, function (err) {
if (err) { throw err; }
console.log('collection run complete!');
});

I have this code but don't know what to do next?

Hey @svarshney2311 ,

This isn't the repo for Newman, that would be https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman

I'm not sure what you're trying to do - Are you just trying to run a Postman collection with Newman from the CLI?

• https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman#getting-started

Once you have installed Newman on your machine, the command would be something like this:

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv

The code that you extracted from the Newman repo is for using Newman as a library in a NodeJS script.

[svarshney2311]

Could you please share the steps to execute Newman as Library in a Nodejs script.

const newman = require('newman'); // require newman in your project

// call newman.run to pass options object and wait for callback newman.run({ collection: require('./sample-collection.json'), reporters: 'cli' }, function (err) { if (err) { throw err; } console.log('collection run complete!'); });

Something like that I guess:

• Create a new dir
• cd to the new dir
• Run npm init
• Install Newman using npm i -S newman
• Create a new js file and add that script
• Run the js file using node <filename>.js

This isn't really a specific question about the htmlextra reporter, more of a general how do I create a node project.

I'm going to close this issue.
