Hi! I created my collection in postman and it works correctly, but I would like to execute it using newman. In my collection the tests are in a specific package, in each call the tests are called directly from the package: const getDs = pm.require(‘get_ds’); At this point: I proceed by exporting …

Hey @apfr1 :waving_hand: Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman: Packages are not support in Newman, these are supported in the Postman CLI though. [image] Explore Postman's command-line companion | Postman Docs Postman is a collaboration platform for API development. Postman's fe…

Hi @danny-dainton thank you for your reply, but it doesn’t solve the problem: I used postman cli to execute my collection, but the result is always the same; if I run the collection directly from postman, it is ok: Loading packages...[0/1] [Error] 1⠄ Error in test-script

Can you provide more details about the actual script in the package and also how you’re calling this in Postman, please? A visual example of this is always better than trying to explain it only using words. :folded_hands:

Hi @danny-dainton yes, of course: this is my script in the package: function Status_200() { pm.test("Status test", function () { if (pm.response.code === 200) { console.log("Status is OK"); } else { throw new Error(`Expected status 200 but got ${pm.response.code}`); }…

I just ran a basic example using your script: [image] This would work with the Postman CLI, if you were logged in , then the package id in the exported JSON file, would be read and used correctly in the run. Do you see this output in your terminal? [image]

Yes, I see this output when trying to load the packages (the output about the error, but the login is done successfully) - @danny-dainton [Screenshot 2025-04-14 174429]

It’s likely that there is a different piece of information below, in the assertion summary about the results table. The use a scripts is limited in the Postman CLI for specific plan types, I don’t know what plan you’re using but I suspect this is the case here.

[image] Danny Dainton: then the package id in the exported JSON file, would be read and used correctly in the run. @danny-dainton I’m using a free plan for initial exploration in Postman. In one of your previous comments, you wrote that “then the package ID in the exported JSON file would be…

If you open the JSON file in an editor and then search for “packages”, you’d be able to find it. For example: [image] Eitherway, if you’re on the free plan, you will only be able to use packages inside the platform and not by running the Collection via Newman or the Postman CLI.

Thank you very much! From which subscription plan can I use the packages in Newman and Pstman CLI?

The package will not work for Newman as this doesn’t have the support for the feature.

Running packages with the Postman CLI is available on Professional and Enterprise accounts - These also increases the number of packages that can be created.
