Want to have ME be your Postman teacher? 🤔

[c-mnm]

This is amazing! Thank you so much Valentine for sharing your quality knowledge with us 🚀

[Karthickmasanmasan]

Really awesome video, was helpful. Valentin Despa Thanks for sharing.

[user_dmbs]

Very great video. Could be useful if you link it with deploy pipeline in Jenkins. I believe to automate the API test we should set the latest build for the environment

[soniapascal]

Thank you very much Valentin for all your clear explanations: I was interested in doing this in a docker container but i do not manage to create container with jenkins + newman, it fails. i have used the docker image weareathlon/jenkins: do you have an other docker image already build to advice ? I think you are doing this in your udemy course, but i am not sure. Do you give any personnal help for a french lady ?

Hi Valentin, Thanks for the tutorial. This is really helpful.
If I want to run the Postman collection on some cloud based K8 setup through jenkins, the installation of newman and html report would be on my laptop or on the cloud setup? Also the collection has an environment (as a setup), how should I configure all this with jenkins. Please reply

[ghasemtabatabaei]

Great Video, Thanks for sharing.
I am using both Environment and Collections. In Environment I am storing also some variable (like baseUrl).In this case, I still get similar to invalid URL (see in video 11:10)
Could you please explain how to assign variable from environment when running newman, to be able to run successfully? - Thank you

[ananyakshetty]

Hi, Thanks for the tutorials, Its really helpful.
I have 1 query. Is it possible to run a collection that has secret keys as variable in environment without exposing it from jenkins?
We are planning to run postman collection file stored in bitbucket via jenkins but in that case I have to export password containing environmental variables too

[MonishaVetrivel-uiuk]

Hai this is very helpful how can i access the global variable and how can i access the run time collection setted collection variable to another api

[momc]

Could you share the collection please to practise

[Albymichael]

If i want to pass multipartfile as parameter in request how to make sure that jenkins takes that file during build?

[stagsxm]

how to run multiple collections from newman? do we need to write a for loop that iterates through the folder containing the json files? if so, can you pls share that logic as well?

[filipjuza]

CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified, now

[dailylife]

The latest changes to Postman tests don't reflect in Newman?

[prabhavathiejjagiri]

Hi despa when we run apis in postman it's working fine when I run apis in new man all apis got failed can u plz help me on this

[srinikalluri]

i have client id and password which i am passing through environment.json and able to execute it through postman but my requirement is how to automate through jenkins pipeline without commiting my password to gihub and run through the pipeline?

[ramakrishnanc]

Hi Valentina Despa,
If i have any external file which has request body for only one of the request in the collection and i need to run only that particular api request with external file and other api request in the collection with what ever request body which is specified in the request body, What should be the solution for the same?
Thanks in Advance.
