newman-reporter-remote

A Remote reporter for Newman that posts aggregated information for each execution in a collection run to the remote location or save to disk in JSON format. This needs to be used in conjunction with Newman so that it can recognize Remote reporting options.

Install

The installation should be global if Newman is installed globally, local otherwise. (Replace -g from the command below with -S for a local installation)

$ npm install -g newman-reporter-remote

Usage

In order to enable this reporter, specify remote in Newman's -r or --reporters option.

# saving execution summary to disk
$ newman run collection.json -r remote --reporter-remote-export './summary.json'

# posting execution summary to remote endpoint
$ newman run collection.json -r remote --reporter-remote-api '{"url": "http://localhost:3000", "method": "POST"}'

Options

With Newman CLI

CLI Option	Description
--reporter-remote-run-id <runId>	Set custom run id. (default: UUID4)
--reporter-remote-source <source>	Set remote execution source. (default: newman-reporter-remote@<version>)
--reporter-remote-export <path>	Specify a path where the output JSON file will be written to disk. If not specified, the file will be written to newman/ in the current working directory.
--reporter-remote-api <json>	Specify the request.js options which will be used to post execution summary to the specified endpoint.

With Newman as a Library

The CLI functionality is available for programmatic use as well.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/sample-collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    reporters: 'remote',
    reporter: {
        remote: {
            // set custom run id
            runId: '12345',

            // set remote execution source
            source: '[email protected]',

            // export execution summary to disk
            // if path is not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            export: './summary.json',

            // post execution summary to remote endpoint
            // request.js(https://github.com/request/request) options object
            api: {
                url: 'http://localhost:3000',
                method: 'POST'
            },

            // custom handling of execution summary
            callback: function (err, summary) {
                // custom logic goes here
            }
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
	if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});
