Not able to use iteration data while calling a PUT API

  • My API {{myurl}}/api/layouts/{{id}} - {{myurl}} is environment, and {{id}} i am reading from CSV file

  • Using Newman as programmatically
    var newman = require('newman'); var fs = require('fs'); newman.run({ collection: require('./putlayout.postman_collection.json'), environment: require('./local.postman_environment.json'), iterationCount :2, iterationData: require('./id.csv'), insecure: true, reporters: 'cli', }).on('console', function (err, logs) { console.log(logs.messages); });

  • Error i am facing : /Users/chetatri/Desktop/gtmhub/newman/id.csv:1
    70b2ae4e-f421-4af8-8593-b40355ad08c2

  • Example for JSON is available
    : iterationData: [{ “var”: “data”, “var_beta”: “other_val” }],

Try the following and see if that helps:

newman.run({ 
    collection: require('./putlayout.postman_collection.json'),
    environment: require('./local.postman_environment.json'), 
    iterationData: './id.csv', 
    insecure: true, reporters: 'cli', 
}).on('console', function (err, logs) { console.log(logs.messages); });

I’ve removed require() function for iterationData field’s value, and that seems to have done the trick!

I actually checked by removing require() function for Collection and Environment as well, and that works as well.

This works for me as well! What would cause that!? Require is only for importing json?
