Integrate Postman test scripts with Jenkins build server

Question

I downloaded the POSTMAN Chrome app to test some web APIs in a local local environment.

In addition, I downloaded the Newman command-line utility for Postman.

See https://www.getpostman.com/docs/newman_intro for more details.

So, the Postman application works fine, and the cmd-line utility also works.

However, as soon as I integrate it with the Jenkins test server, the tests do not work.

The main problem is that it cannot start Newman .

At the standard cmd prompt, I can successfully run the Newman test script as:

  newman -c API-Collection.json -n 3 

executed n times.

And in the Jenkins Build Server GUI, I add a script construct in the "Execute Shell" section.

But he does not find Newman , as this build error shows:

  FailedConsole Output Started by user anonymous Building in workspace C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\Web Api Test1 (Team Gecko) [Web Api Test1 (Team Gecko)] $ "C:\Program Files\bin\sh.exe" -xe C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson2522506155962538386.sh + newman -c C:\Users\robertjm\Documents\POSTMAN Files\Workbench-API-Collection.json -n 3 -y 1000 --exitCode 1 -o output.json -H output.html C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson2522506155962538386.sh: newman: command not found Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure Finished: FAILURE 

If someone can help me in solving this problem, I would appreciate it.

thanks bob

Answer 1

The final decision was:

1) Add the “Run Windows Command Command” assembly step and add the two lines below:

2) change dir to newman \ bin:

  cd \Users\bob\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\newman\bin 

3) run node newman , and not just try starting newman

  node newman -c "C:\\Users\\bob\\Documents\\POSTMAN Files\\Workbench-API-Collection.json" 

Two complex parts:

1) starting a new user in this way newman -c myCollection.json did not work, because Jenkins was not able to resolve this node module, as it would in the Win cmd direct prompt.

2) Trying to find the Newman module was difficult because it is hidden inside the %appdata% folder (i.e. c: \ users \ bob \ $ appdata $).

I hope this helps someone in the future.

good luck.

Answer 2

Run the “what a new person” command in the prommpt command. It will return something like - / C / Users / user1 / AppData / Roaming / NMP / Newman

Now use the fully covered path returned by the above command in the command line field of the Jenkins window -

c: / Users / user1 / AppData / Roaming / npm / newman -c demo.postman_collection.json
