UsingNewman, one can effortlessly run and test a Postman Collections directly from the command-line. Now in a task!

You can include this task in a build or release pipeline. Here's a quick 'How To'

1. Add anpm task to install Newman before execution.

2. Set a display name (eg : 'Install Newman').

3. Setcustom as command

4. As 'Command and arguments' setinstall newman -g. Note that if the task version doesn't yet support the latest Newman version, an older version can be used, e.g.install newman@4.6.1 -g.

Configure this task as per your requirements. (seehere andhere for options)

Test report can be integrated in Team Services.

To do so :

• Selectat leastjunit as a reporter option (others can be added).
• Optionaly specify path to export junit report.
• Add a 'Publish Test Result' task, to process generated Junit report. Specify format (JUnit) and path and to xml file.

Execution is now reported with test statistics.

1. Add anpm task to install Newman-reporter-htmlextra before execution.

2. Set a display name (eg : 'Install Newman-reporter-htmlextra').

3. Setcustom as command

4. As 'Command and arguments' setinstall -g newman-reporter-htmlextra

5. Select "htmlextra" from the reports list

If your tests are failing, then you will not see the results in the test tab. You canread more about it here, but to resolve that you can:

1. On the task for the Postman tests mark the checkbox for Continue on Error.
2. Add a Publish Test Results task and have it search for the following test file *\newman-.xml.

Realize that this will then NOT fail your pipeline because your tests failed. There is currently no documented way around this.

Following command line options arenot supported:

• -x,--suppress-exit-code
• -color
• --ssl-client-passphrase
• None of theCLI option

• ThesslStrict parameter is renamed assslInsecure in order to better match with the actual behavior of the parameter: setting it totrue will use newman--insecure option to disable the strict SSL verification.

• None
