Running a collection in Postman - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to run a Postman collection using Newman.

Postman

newman.run({ collection: require('[1]') }, function (err) { if (err) { throw err; } console.log('Collection run complete!'); });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'./mycollection.json'

B'./collection'

C'collection.json'

D'mycollection'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Omitting the file extension .json

Using just the collection name without path

Using a directory path instead of a file

You need to provide the path to the collection JSON file. './mycollection.json' is the correct relative path with file extension.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to specify an environment file when running a collection with Newman.

Postman

newman.run({ collection: require('./mycollection.json'), environment: require('[1]') }, function (err) { if (err) { throw err; } console.log('Run complete with environment!'); });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'./env'

B'env.json'

C'environment.json'

D'./environment.json'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Missing './' at the start of the path

Omitting the .json extension

Using a wrong filename

The environment file path must be relative and include the .json extension, so './environment.json' is correct.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to run a collection with a timeout option.

Postman

newman.run({ collection: require('./mycollection.json'), timeout: [1] }, function (err) { if (err) { throw err; } console.log('Run complete with timeout!'); });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A5000

B'5000'

C'5s'

D5

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Putting the number in quotes making it a string

Using a string like '5s' which is invalid

Using a small number like 5 which is 5 milliseconds

Timeout must be a number representing milliseconds, so 5000 without quotes is correct.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to run a collection and export the run summary to a file.

Postman

newman.run({ collection: require('[1]') }, function (err, summary) { if (err) { throw err; } require('fs').writeFileSync('[2]', JSON.stringify(summary)); console.log('Summary saved!'); });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'./mycollection.json'

B'summary.json'

C'./summary.json'

D'summary.txt'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a filename without './' for collection

Saving summary as .txt instead of .json

Using inconsistent paths

The collection path must be a JSON file with relative path './mycollection.json'. The summary file should be saved as './summary.json' to keep consistent relative path and JSON format.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to run a collection with environment and iteration count options.

Postman

newman.run({ collection: require('[1]'), environment: require('[2]'), iterationCount: [3] }, function (err) { if (err) { throw err; } console.log('Run complete with iterations!'); });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'./collection.json'

B'./env.json'

C3

D'env.json'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using environment path without './'

Putting iteration count in quotes

Using wrong filenames

The collection and environment paths must be relative with './' and .json extension. Iteration count is a number, so 3 is correct.
