How I found the problem:

I am trying to use data driven testing where the subsequent requests need input from previous requests.

I’ve already tried:

I have tried to use just postman to run them. Runs fine with environment variables but when I provide the data file it fails as I don’t know how to save the the value back to the data file for the next call.

I’m using newman to run this:

npx newman run '.\postman_collection.json' -d '.\Data02172022.csv' --delay-request 5000 --reporters=cli,htmlextra

Error is attached.

I tried to use the environment variable file and data file together in newman but couldn’t figure it out.
