Newman itself is able to run my tests, but is not creating any html file of the output, and is not throwing any error. It just thinks for a few seconds, then does nothing
Steps taken:
- Installed Node.js (node-v18.14.0-x64.msi)
- npm install -g newman
- npm install -g newman-reporter-html
- npm install -g newman-reporter-htmlextra
All installed fine, no errors.
```auto
C:\Users\xxxxx>newman run "C:\Tools\Newman\collection.json" -e "C:\Tools\Newman\environment.json" -r
```
This much executes just fine. The tests run.
`C:\Users\xxxxx>newman run "C:\Tools\Newman\collection.json" -e "C:\Tools\Newman\environment.json" -r html`
But this does nothing. After a few seconds of nothing it displays an empty line:
```auto
C:\Users\xxxxx>
```
…and generates no folder and no file. Same thing if I try htmlextra instead of html.
I have tried this on an account that has full admin rights and on one that does not, same results.
This is similar to [Newman report (html/html extra) not generating any output](https://community.postman.com/t/newman-report-html-html-extra-not-generating-any-output/8698), but that thread did not have any replies.

Hi @david.accola
Just tried this using the same steps you listed and it appears to work for me…
Have you tried specifying a specific output directory? For example; `
> C:\Users\James\>newman run “C:\Users\James\PMtest\NewmanTest.postman\_collection.json” -e “C:\Users\James\PMtest\NewmanTestEnv.postman\_environment.json” -r htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-export “C:\temp\New folder”
This also works for me.

Ah, I see! It is generating a folder and file after all.
I had thought it generated the folder/file in the path the collection was located in by default for some reason, instead of generating in the current working directory. I reread the docs and all is well.
