How to setup a Jenkins pipeline for postman tests

Node module newman can be used to execute Postman collections. Refer the following Package.json file. Here we are executing the postman collection inside the unit_tests folder using newman, also newman dependency is defined.

package.json

{  "name": "postman-newman-jenkins",  "version": "1.0.0",  "description": "My Test Project",  "directories": {    "tests": "tests"  },  "scripts": {    "newman-tests": "newman run unit_tests/my-collection.postman_collection.json --reporters cli,junit --reporter-junit-export newman.xml --insecure"  },  "author": "Test Author",  "dependencies": {    "newman": "^3.5.2"  }}

The following is the content of the Jenkinsfile. We are using NPM to install the dependencies and execute tests.

Jenkinsfile

pipeline {    agent { label 'LinuxSlave' }    stages {        stage ('Checkout') {            steps {                checkout scm            }        }        stage('Test'){            steps {                sh 'npm install'                sh 'npm run newman-tests'                junit 'newman.xml'            }        }    }}

you can avoid installing newman on the machine (slave/ master) and use docker

example pipeline script:

pipeline { agent any stages {  stage('Test') {   steps {    sh 'docker run -t postman/newman_ubuntu1404 run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/8a0c9bc08f062d12dcda'   }  } }}
