Newman in CI/cd

  • Make sure your tests/envs are updated/exported with git commit that is being run (Postman does not auto export changes)
  • make sure the mahcine running tests waits for server to start before running tests
  • you may need different env file for ci/cd or set env vars like urls/ports on command line params
  • choose report type usually all ways with cli reporting
  • run post run tasks like report to slack, hipchat channels
