How to use

The installation should be global if newman is installed globally, otherwise - local (replace -g from the command below with -S for a local installation).

$ npm install -g @reportportal/newman-reporter-agent-js-postman

Usage

There are two ways to enable this reporter - with command line or programmatically.

With CLI

To enable this reporter you have to specify agent-js-postman in Newman's -r or --reporters option.

$ newman run https://postman-echo.com/status/200 \
    -r @reportportal/agent-js-postman \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-debug=true \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-endpoint=https://your-instance.com:8080/api/v1 \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-api-key=reportportalApiKey \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-launch=LAUNCH_NAME \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-project=PROJECT_NAME \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-description=LAUNCH_DESCRIPTION \
    --reporter-@reportportal/agent-js-postman-attributes=launchKey:launchValue;launchValueTwo \
    -x

Pay attention that you must add -x or --suppress-exit-code parameter while running newman using CLI.

Programmatically

const newman = require("newman");

newman.run(
    {
        collection: "./collections/newman-test_collection.json",
        reporters: "@reportportal/agent-js-postman",
        reporter: {
            "@reportportal/agent-js-postman": {
                apiKey: "reportportalApiKey",
                endpoint: "https://your-instance.com:8080/api/v1",
                launch: "LAUNCH_NAME",
                project: "PROJECT_NAME",
                description: "LAUNCH_DESCRIPTION",
                attributes: [
                    {
                        "key": "launchKey",
                        "value": "launchValue"
                    },
                    {
                        "value": "launchValue"
                    },
                ],
                mode: 'DEFAULT',
                debug: false
            }
        }
    },
    function(err) {
        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }
        console.log("collection run complete!");
    }
);

// To run several collections
// Note, this will create multiple launches that you can merge into one manually via the UI
fs.readdir('./collections_folder_path', (err, files) => {
    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }
    files.forEach((file) => {
        // setup newman.run()
    });
});

Report static attributes

• To report attributes for suite you should use collection variables.

| VARIABLE | INITIAL VALUE | CURRENT VALUE | |---------------|---------------------------|---------------------------| | rp.attributes | keySuiteOne:valueSuiteOne | keySuiteOne:valueSuiteOne |

• To report attributes for tests inside of Pre-request Script you should use the next method

pm.environment.set

| Parameter | Required | Description | Examples | |------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | namespace | true | "string" - namespace, must be equal to the rp.attributes | "rp.attributes" | | attributes | true | "string" - contains set of pairs key:value | "keyOne:valueOne;valueTwo;keyThree:valueThree" |

pm.environment.set("rp.attributes", "keyOne:valueOne;valueTwo;keyThree:valueThree");

• Step doesn't support reporting with attributes

Report static description

Both suites and tests support description. For reporting with description you should click on Edit in your collection and in the description column enter the text you need

• Step doesn't support reporting with description

Finish with status

status must be equal to one of the following values: passed, failed, stopped, skipped, interrupted, cancelled, info, warn.

• To finish launch/suite with status you should use collection variables

| VARIABLE | INITIAL VALUE | CURRENT VALUE | |--------------------------------------------------------|---------------|---------------| | rp.launchStatus (for launch)rp.status (for suite) | your status | your status |

• To finish tests you should use environment variables inside of Pre-request Script

pm.environment.set("rp.status", "status");

• To finish steps with statuses you should use local variables

pm.variables.set("rp.status", "status");

It is important that the code line above has to start from the new line and you shouldn't forget about semicolon after it

For both tests or steps, this is true

| Parameter | Required | Description | Examples | |-----------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | namespace | true | "string" - namespace, must be equal to the rp.status | "rp.status" | | status | true | "string" - status | "passed" |

Logging

You can use the following methods to report logs with different log levels:

• console.log("launch/suite/test", "message");
• console.error("launch/suite/test", "message");
• console.debug("launch/suite/test", "message");
• console.warn("launch/suite/test", "message");
• console.info("launch/suite/test", "message");

| Parameter | Required | Description | Examples | |-----------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------| | namespace | true | "string" - namespace, must be equal to the launch, suite or test depends on where you want to report | "test" | | message | true | "string" - message | "your message" |

• Step doesn't support logs reporting

Report test case id

• To report suite with test case id you should use collection variables

| VARIABLE | INITIAL VALUE | CURRENT VALUE | |---------------|---------------------|---------------------| | rp.testCaseId | yourSuiteTestCaseId | yourSuiteTestCaseId |

• To report tests with test case id you should use environment variables inside of Pre-request Script

pm.environment.set("rp.testCaseId", "yourTestCaseId");

• To report steps with test case id you should use local variables

pm.variables.set("rp.testCaseId", "stepTestCaseId");

It is important that the code line above has to start from the new line and you shouldn't forget about semicolon after it

For both tests or steps, this is true

| Parameter | Required | Description | Examples | |------------|----------|------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| | namespace | true | "string" - namespace, must be equal to the rp.testCaseId | "rp.testCaseId" | | testCaseId | true | "string" - test case id value | "yourTestCaseId" |
