How to run Postman API Tests with Newman in Gitlab CI

In this tutorial, I wanted to show you how you can use Gitlab CI to automate the execution of Postman tests.

I will show you how to use the official Newman Docker image and how to integrate that with Gitlab CI.

This will help automate the execution of your API tests written in Postman.

Here is the link to the repository used in this tutorial:

The Newman Docker images can be found here:

The Newman v4 documentation can be found here:

@Valentin Despa
Getting error as "This GitLab CI configuration is invalid: root config contains unknown keys: postman_tests". Can you please help

[doghosuedean]

Excellent tutorial Valentin, just what I needed. I have a flask application and wondered if you know of a way to test it using gitlab CICD?

Is it possible to deploy the flask app then use newman to test it all in the same .gitlab-ci.yml?

[vipul]

It's explained so very well. Thank you so much. One quick help, how can we send these reports as email attachment after pipeline execution completed? Thanks in advance.
