[FIXED] How to integrate postman collection in maven pom.xml

Issue

I have postman.collection.json files and I am able to run those collections files through newman and using the below command.

   newman run test.postman.collection.json -e environment.collection.json -d test.csv 

It ran successfully and is giving a response back.

I just want to get the same behavior by using the maven system. I need to integrate it with pom.xml, so that file will run the above collection.

Is this possible? If it's possible to run like this, then please share a sample to show how.

Solution

There are some unofficial postman runners for Maven, like this or this. I've never tried those, so I couldn't recommend either of them.

I prefer to use the maven-exec-plugin to run postman / newman collection during the integration-test or verify lifecycle phases.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>integration-tests</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <executable>
                    <!-- PATH_TO_NEWMAN_EXECUTABLE-->
                </executable>
                <commandlineArgs>
                    run <!--PATH_TO_COLLECTION_JSON--> -e <!--PATH_TO_ENVIRONMENT_JSON-->
                </commandlineArgs>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
