Disclaimer: the approach I am following may not be the best one but this is the one with which I was thinking to reach my goal, if there’s a better solution feel free to suggest it please. Problem: In a custom script where I am using Newman as package I am running a Postman collection by using th…

Hey @aurelien.lair Welcome to the community :trophy: Could you include the Newman run script that you have been using so far?

Here it is: const newman = require('/usr/local/share/npm-global/lib/node_modules/newman'); const NUMBER_OF_CARTS = 2; try { newman.run({ collection: require('./config/collection.json'), environment: require('./config/dev.json'), folder: 'CART-CREATION', reporters: 'cli',…

Thanks for that @aurelien.lair , Could you give us an idea about the requests inside that folder you’re running. If you were to run what you’re doing manually inside the app, what’s happening. I can see that you’re setting a new variable somewhere but not really sure how that relates to the rest of…

Hi Danny, please check the collection you will see it directly in any case what you said is correct: Is the request going to the same URL each time but the response is returning a different unique guid? Yes only some parameters are changing in the request. In any case here is what I am interesti…

I mocked out a very simplified version of what you’re running (might not be 100% correct) but it seems to be creating a new guid and sending that in the second POST request each iteration. [Screenshot 2020-07-03 at 14.24.34] What are the URLs that you’re seeing in the second POST request? Could y…

Hi Danny, could you please refresh the collection I’ve shared? I have updated it with the base url as requested so you could reproduce the problem in Newman. Please let me know Aurélien

What are the URLs that you’re seeing in the second POST request? Could you share an image of the Newman CLI output, please?

I’m not really sure what the issue is now, I can see that different guids are being using the requests. The final environment output would be a single value, probably the last one as its overwriting the last one used.

In Newman used as package how to retrieve an environment variable during the iteration?
