How to integrate postman collection in maven pom.xml


I have postman.collection.json files and I am able to run those collections files through newman and using the below command.

   newman run test.postman.collection.json -e environment.collection.json -d test.csv 

It ran successfully and is giving a response back.

I just want to get the same behavior by using the maven system. I need to integrate it with pom.xml, so that file will run the above collection.

Is this possible? If it's possible to run like this, then please share a sample to show how.


Solution

  • There are some unofficial postman runners for Maven, like this or this. I've never tried those, so I couldn't recommend either of them.

    I prefer to use the maven-exec-plugin to run postman / newman collection during the integration-test or verify lifecycle phases.

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.0</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>integration-tests</id>
                <phase>integration-test</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>exec</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <executable>
                        <!-- PATH_TO_NEWMAN_EXECUTABLE-->
                    </executable>
                    <commandlineArgs>
                        run <!--PATH_TO_COLLECTION_JSON--> -e <!--PATH_TO_ENVIRONMENT_JSON-->
                    </commandlineArgs>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
