newman-reporter-pullrequest-decorator

Description

Report newman collection results on an extra check in the Pull Request Checks tab. If you need a way to export your Postman collection results into Github Pull Request, and you're using github workflow to handle your CI then you're in the right place !

PullRequest's Check example :

HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES

• Handle deep nested postman folder structure
• Group requests by their folder's name in the generated markdown

Getting Started

1. Install newman
2. Install @decathlon/newman-reporter-pullrequest-decorator
3. Run your github workflow and extract from it :
   • GITHUB TOKEN from your running job. Usually, you can get it from ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}.

Prerequisites

1. node and npm
2. newman - npm install -g newman
3. A github token either from :
   • your running github workflow provided as a secret (see above)
   • your own specific Github App (see Notes what issue this option solves)

---

Installation

npm install -g @decathlon/newman-reporter-pullrequest-decorator

Installation should be done globally if newman is installed globally, otherwise install without -g option

---

Usage

Specify -r @decathlon/pullrequest-decorator option while running the collection

In non export mode (it means you actually want to update github pull request) :

newman run <collection-url> --environment=<env-url> -r @decathlon/pullrequest-decorator \
  --reporter-pullrequest-decorator-repo <repo> \
  --reporter-pullrequest-decorator-token <github-token> \
  --reporter-pullrequest-decorator-checkname <check-name> \
  --reporter-pullrequest-decorator-refcommit <ref-commit>

In export mode :

newman run <collection-url> --environment=<env-url> -r @decathlon/pullrequest-decorator \
  --reporter-export <export-path> 

Options:

Option	Remarks
--reporter-pullrequest-decorator-repo	(Required) Usually you can get it from ${{ github.repository }}. It follows this pattern : "organization/repository"
--reporter-pullrequest-decorator-token	(Required) Github token : Usually you can get it from ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} while job is running. For more details : https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/authentication-in-a-workflow#about-the-github_token-secret
--reporter-pullrequest-decorator-checkname	(Optional : Default newman-check) Name you want to give to the check name that will be created by the reporter. This parameter is useful if you want to wait for a specific check name to be completed inside your workflow. See, for example, the following github action : fountainhead/action-wait-for-check@v1.0.0
--reporter-pullrequest-decorator-refcommit	(Required) Long Commit hash. When you run this reporter from a Pull Request. You should use : ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
--reporter-debug	(Optional : Default false) Reporter debug mode
--suppress-exit-code	(Optional) Ensure that asynchronous github API is called before reporter termination.

Notes:

PullRequest's check report can appear on the wrong check suite. This is due to a known github limitation. See here : https://github.community/t/specify-check-suite-when-creating-a-checkrun/118380
To solve this issue, you can use a token from your own created Github App (and not the one used in the github workflow) so this way, the check run will be automatically created on a specific check suite.
