POST calls with form-data fields does not work with Newman, works with collection Runner

[mverma-va]

Noticed that POST calls with form-data fields does not work with Newman(command line), but the same works with collection Runner. I have confirmed the behavior, if I move the form-fields to the URL-params section, it works with Newman(command line).

I created a POST request in Postman which had URL parameters and form-data. The response was correct. After saving the collection, and running in Newman, all tests were still running. For you, are the tests failing, or is it something else?

[mverma-va]

Yes, my tests are failing only when I run them through Newman, works with collection runner. What I am doing with my TEST scripts is that I am storing some id's from response body of previous calls to env. var and using them in future calls(to make data dynamic, that could be the reason too) var retData = JSON.parse(responseBody); postman.setEnvironmentVariable("agid", retData.data.agid);

So after fetching this agid, I am using it in the delete call (as in earlier snapshot), so is that the reason. If you see the current attached snapshot, it works fine if I move the form-data to url params.

Will have to look into this...thanks for pointing it out.

Also noticed with Newman, that this works fine in form-data when I hard coded the variable "agid" to some value, but failed when I used as env variable "{{agid}}". So it seems POST calls are working with form-data, but it is just those env. variables not working in form-data.

This has been fixed - we'll push a new release this week.

We've pushed new release - 1.0.7. Can you mark this as closed?

This is working fine now, thanks for the quick fix :)
