Exceptions

The step has been migrated into a golang-based step. The following release notes belong to the new implementation:

• newmanRunCommand:

The parameter newmanRunCommand is deprecated by now and is replaced by list parameter runOptions. For backward compatibility, the newmanRunCommand parameter will still be used if configured. Nevertheless, using this parameter can break the step in some cases, e.g. when spaces are used in single quoted strings like spaces in file names. Also Groovy Templating is deprecated and now replaced by Go Templating. The example show the required changes:

# deprecated groovy default
newmanRunCommand: "run '${config.newmanCollection}' --environment '${config.newmanEnvironment}' --globals '${config.newmanGlobals}' --reporters junit,html --reporter-junit-export 'target/newman/TEST-${collectionDisplayName}.xml' --reporter-html-export 'target/newman/TEST-${collectionDisplayName}.html'"

# new run options using golang templating
{{`runOptions: ["run", "{{.NewmanCollection}}", "--environment", "{{.Config.NewmanEnvironment}}", "--globals", "{{.Config.NewmanGlobals}}", "--reporters", "junit,html", "--reporter-junit-export", "target/newman/TEST-{{.CollectionDisplayName}}.xml", "--reporter-html-export", "target/newman/TEST-{{.CollectionDisplayName}}.html"]`}}

If the following error occurs during the pipeline run, the newmanRunCommand is probably still configured with the deprecated groovy template syntax:

info newmanExecute - error: collection could not be loaded info newmanExecute - unable to read data from file "${config.newmanCollection}" info newmanExecute - ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '${config.newmanCollection}'

• newmanEnvironment and newmanGlobals:

Referencing newmanEnvironment and newmanGlobals in the runOptions is redundant now. Both parameters are added to runCommand using newmanEnvironment and newmanGlobals from config when configured and not referenced by go templating using "--environment", "{{{{.Config.NewmanEnvironment}}}}" and "--globals", "{{{{.Config.NewmanGlobals}}}}" as shown above.

Example

Pipeline step:

newmanExecute script: this

This step should be used in combination with testsPublishResults:

newmanExecute script: this, failOnError: false
testsPublishResults script: this, junit: [pattern: '**/newman/TEST-*.xml']
