You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!

[@ChandraSekhar0085]

Thanks Valentin, successfully ran the collections using netman via postman API :-)

[@vdespa]

Nice work!

Assignment: for creating an HTML report, we have to install HTML reporter first by executing this command npm install -g newman-reporter-html After this simply use the following command newman run "Collection name" -r html After successful execution, nothing will be shown on CMD, just go to directory path which is used for executing above command, there will be one folder with name "newman", it will contain HTML report

[@vdespa]

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@sjakie0420]

Mulțumesc, numai bine Ionuț!

Hi Valentine, Thanks for the video. Can you show an example of using the environment variables from API and not from json file, please?

[@vdespa]

Currently this is demonstrated in the compete Postman course. I will look into creating a tutorial on KZbin as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@arnabgoswami8971]

Thaanks you so much really hellped me

[@vdespa]

You are welcome

[@noufalghamdi1093]

so I want to make this clear, if I generate a link or export file, each time I make change I need to update the link or file, BUT if I used build in API no need for any manual update. is that correct ?

[@prasadsupare]

can you please integrate all your postman tutorials in one playlist

[@cristianosaraujo]

Good afternoon , please , do you know if is possible install the newman without the utilization of NPM? my problem that is my server not has conection of the internet would know how to make? do you know if have some manuals? thanks

[@vdespa]

You can install Newman as a project dependency and move that folder with node_modules to the server.

[@AndyChittum]

What would be really helpful in newman would be to run one test which resulted in a value in a variable, then be able to use that value later in other tests. It's not too hard with a collection or environment variable in Postman, but there doesn't seem to be any way to communicate that variable value to other later tests run in newman, especially if for some reason you're forbidden from using the Postman api. Is there another way to to this?

[@vdespa]

This is possible. Set the respective value as a global variable (for example) and export the globals to a file. After this, you can import the globals in your next collection run.

@@vdespa - How to run the collection with the environment variable in jenkins. i dont have rights to generate the api keys. please guide me

[@ravikumar678]

Thanks..Its really helpful

[@dilpudara777]

I have export Env variable list as json file and give it as parameter in CLI. but thing is even if i updated env variables in that list via posment and get the updated link and export it again.but still json file of env is not updated with new values.Do you know why is this ?

[@vijaykumar-ut1ze]

I have used environment variables in my collection and if i want to use the collection in jenkins is there any way other than generating the api key for giving the environment variable

[@vdespa]

Make sure you export the environment and that the initial value contains the API key.

[@AndeBharathReddy]

Hi Valentin If I run the collection it is passed in postman, But it is failed due to 403 in Newman. I have tried --insecure also. Please suggest to me.

[@vdespa]

The flag mentioned has nothing to do with the 403 status code. It is hard to know what the problem is in this case. Join the Facebook community (see link in the description) and ask your question there. Consider adding more details, including screenshots. Thanks for understanding.

[@rajnishshah5761]

I am not able run my collections in Newman.Its showing error that request URL is empty

[@vdespa]

Most likely there is an issue with one of the variables you are using. Make sure to include the environment, if any, in your newman command.

How to run the multiple collection with one script command rather than using each postman JSON file with Newman run?

[@vdespa]

It is hard to answer this with the given information. What is the problem you are trying to solve? Join the Discord community (see link in the description) and ask your question there.

[@olegkramar669]

what to do if in Postman tests are passed, but newman shows errors?

[@vdespa]

Depends on the error.

[@sijojohny5004]

how to pass dynamic variable in json body in newman

[@vdespa]

The same way you do it in Postman. Just use {{varname}} in your body.

[@sijojohny5004]

but environment variables are not passing in the json body

[@vdespa]

@@sijojohny5004 Make sure you select the environment.

Hi, Thanks for the video. Any command line calls using newman to postman collection gives me ""error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.getpostman.com". This happens when i use the postman collection link in "newman run " and also when i use "newman run . But works fine when the collection downloaded in a folder and executed from there. Any pointers will greatly help. thanks.

[@vdespa]

If you are in a corporate network, check with the it department why this request is blocked while using nodejs.

[@anurupghatak37]

while running the collection from command line throws me this error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND www.getpostman.com .... Can you please help me with this

Which is the complete address you are trying to call?

[@anurupghatak37]

but it runs when I run it while saving the collection in my local folder

[@vdespa]

@@anurupghatak37 I don't see how this collection can throw this error as you are not using getpostman.com
