Integrate Postman test scripts with Jenkins build server

Final solution was :

1) Add build step "Execute Windows batch command" and add two lines below:

2) change dir to newman\bin:

  cd \Users\bob\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\newman\bin

3) run node newman as opposed to simply trying to run newman

  node newman -c "C:\\Users\\bob\\Documents\\POSTMAN Files\\Workbench-API-Collection.json"

The two tricky parts were:

1) running newman like this newman -c myCollection.json was not working, as Jenkins could not resolve this node module as it would in a straight Win cmd prompt.

2) Trying to locate the Newman module was difficult, as it's hidden inside %appdata% folder (i.e. c:\users\bob\$appdata$ ).

I hope this helps someone in the future.

good luck.


Run command "which newman" in command prommpt. It will return something like - /c/Users/user1/AppData/Roaming/npm/newman

Now use fully qualified path returned by above mentioned command in Jenkins windows batch command box -

c:/Users/user1/AppData/Roaming/npm/newman -c demo.postman_collection.json
