In the Postman app, click on the ellipses (…) next to the collection and select “Export” to download a JSON file of the collection. Similarly, you can download a JSON file of an environment if you're using one. In the same directory where the JSON file is saved, use Newman to run the collection from the command line.
This allows us to run multiple collections defined in a single json file and run all the collections in one shot and have a combined reports at allure.
Postman monitors only work with one environment. You would have to duplicate your individual collections, set the environment and duplicate the settings (alert emails etc.) to run your collections with different environments.
Step 1 − Click on the Runner menu present at the top of the Postman application. Step 2 − The Collection Runner screen shall appear. Step 3 − Select the Collection name from Choose a collection or folder. Step 4 − Select an environment from the Environment dropdown to run the requests in a particular environment.
Yes, you can run a specific request in a collection runner in newman CLI with option --folder.
Documentation:
CLI option : --folder "name"
Run requests within a particular folder/folders or specific requests in a collection. Multiple folders or requests can be specified by using --folder multiple times, like so: --folder f1 --folder f2 --folder r1 --folder r2.
Example:
newman run "postman-collection-API" --environment "postman-environment-API" --folder request-name
You can also run specific requests in the newman library as follows:
Documentation:
options.folder- The name or ID of the folder/folders (ItemGroup) in the collection which would be run instead of the entire collection.
Example:
newman.run(
{
collection: 'postman-collection-API',
environment: 'postman-environment-API',
folder: ['request-name', 'other-request-name']
},
function (error, summary) {
console.log(`${summary.run.executions.length} requests were run`);
}
);
