Integrate Postman test scripts with Jenkins build server

Question

I\'ve downloaded the POSTMAN Chrome app in order to test some Web APIs on my local dev environment.

In addition, I\'ve downloaded the Newman cmd-line utility for Postman

Answer 1

Final solution was :

1) Add build step "Execute Windows batch command" and add two lines below:

2) change dir to newman\bin:

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

3) run node newman as opposed to simply trying to run newman

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

The two tricky parts were:

1) running newman like this newman -c myCollection.json was not working, as Jenkins could not resolve this node module as it would in a straight Win cmd prompt.

2) Trying to locate the Newman module was difficult, as it's hidden inside %appdata% folder (i.e. c:\users\bob\$appdata$ ).

I hope this helps someone in the future.

good luck.
