newman-reporter-htmlextra

A Newman HTML reporter that has been extended to include the separation of the iteration runs so these are no longer aggregated together and also some additional handlebars helpers to enable users to create better custom templates. This reporter comes with a default dashboard style template and also a Dark Theme version.

Some of the Extras

Full separated iterations runs and not aggregated stats - Default template shows iteration number in heading
Includes the full handlebars-helpers module for building better templates
New percent helper to help exposing data like Test Pass Percentage - e.g {{percent cumulativeTests.passed cumulativeTests.failed}}
Copy and Paste any of the Response Bodies
Includes an inc helper to work with things like the handlebars zero index - e.g Iteration:{{inc cursor.iteration}} - {{item.name}}
Added the helper-moment module so you have more control over the display dates - e.g {{moment date format="dddd, DD MMMM YYYY HH:mm:ss"}}
Exposed the Skipped Tests so you can tell which ones are skipped, in the main summary view. You can also see which tests are skipped within the single request view
Folder level descriptions with rendered Markdown syntax
Response Headers displayed for each of the requests
Iterations separated by tabs in the Requests view
The console.log statements from the Collections can be seen using the --reporter-htmlextra-logs CLI flag - These will be part of each of the requests that have them.
A Dark Theme dashboard template - This is an option from the CLI using the --reporter-htmlextra-darkTheme flag or in a script by setting the darkTheme property to true.
A helper to give more control over the main title shown on the report. Use the --reporter-htmlextra-title flag to add your own unique headline.
The default filename, if you do not supply the export location, is now includes the collection name in the filename rather that the reporter name.
Use the onlyShowFails option to reduce the report down to just showing the requests that had test failures.
The skipHeaders option lets you optionally specify an array of header names that should be skipped in the report.
Setting the skipSensitiveData will skip outputting the headers and bodies for all requests and responses.
More to come...

Interactive Report Examples

To give you an idea of what the final reports will look like, I've added a couple of working examples here:

These a just a couple of the reports that can be produced from the reporter. You will find more options available to help configure the final output, in the sections below.

Install

The installation should be global if newman is installed globally, local otherwise.

For global install:

npm install -g newman-reporter-htmlextra

For local install:

npm install -S newman-reporter-htmlextra

Usage

In order to enable this reporter, specify htmlextra in Newman's -r or --reporters option.

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv -r htmlextra

CLI Options

With Newman CLI

CLI Option	Description
`--reporter-htmlextra-export <path>`	Specify a path where the output HTML file will be written to disk. If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
`--reporter-htmlextra-template <path>`	Specify a path to the custom template which will be used to render the HTML report. This option depends on `--reporter htmlextra` and `--reporter-htmlextra-export` being present in the run command. If this option is not specified, the default template is used
`--reporter-htmlextra-showOnlyFails`	Use this optional flag to tell the reporter to display only the requests with failed tests.
`--reporter-htmlextra-darkTheme`	Use this optional flag to switch the reporter template to the `Dark Theme` dashboard.
`--reporter-htmlextra-testPaging`	Use this optional flag to add pagination to the tests in the request view.
`--reporter-htmlextra-browserTitle`	Use this optional flag to change the name of the title in the browser tab. The default name is "Newman Summary Report".
`--reporter-htmlextra-title`	This optional flag can be used to give your report a different main `Title` in the centre of the report. If this is not set, the report will show "Newman Run Dashboard".
`--reporter-htmlextra-titleSize`	An optional flag to reduce the size of the main report title. The sizes range from `1` to `6`, the higher the number, the smaller the title will be. The default size is `2`.
`--reporter-htmlextra-logs`	This optional flag shows any console log statements in the collection, on the final report. This is `false` by default.
`--reporter-htmlextra-hideResponse`	An optional flag which allows you to exclude certain `Response Bodies` from the final report
`--reporter-htmlextra-showEnvironmentData`	An optional flag which allows you to show all the `Environment` variables used during the run, in the final report
`--reporter-htmlextra-skipEnvironmentVars`	An optional flag which allows you to exclude certain `Environment` variables from the final report
`--reporter-htmlextra-omitHeaders`	An optional flag which allows you to exclude all `Headers` from the final report
`--reporter-htmlextra-skipHeaders`	An optional flag which allows you to exclude certain `Headers` from the final report
`--reporter-htmlextra-skipSensitiveData`	An optional flag that will exclude all the `Request/Response Headers` and the `Request/Response bodies`, from each request in the final report. This will only show the main request info and the Test Results. This is `false` by default.
`--reporter-htmlextra-noSyntaxHighlighting`	An optional flag which allows you disable the code syntax highlighting. This could enhance the performance of opening larger reports.

Custom templates (currently handlebars only) can be passed to the HTML reporter via --reporter-htmlextra-template <path> with --reporters htmlextra and --reporter-htmlextra-export. The default template is used in all other cases.

To create a report that only shows the requests with Failed tests, from the CLI, the following command can be used:

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv -r htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-showOnlyFails

To create the Dark Theme report from the CLI, the following command can be used:

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv -r htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-darkTheme

To add a custom Title to your report from the CLI, the following command can be used:

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv -r htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-title "My new report title"

To show the console.log() statements on the report from the CLI, the following command can be used:

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv --folder 'Authentication Methods' -r htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-skipHeaders Authorization

To exclude all the Request/Response Headers from the final report, the following command can be used:

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/631643-f695cab7-6878-eb55-7943-ad88e1ccfd65-JsLv -r htmlextra --reporter-htmlextra-omitHeaders

With Newman as a Library

All the CLI functionality is available for programmatic use as well within a nodejs script.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            template: '<template path>' // optional, the default template will be used if one is not specified
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the showOnlyFails property to the htmlextra object, to create a report showing only requests with test failures.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            showOnlyFails: true // optional, tells the reporter to create a report showing only the requests with failed tests.
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

To use the dark theme template within a script - Add the darkTheme property to the htmlextra object. If the template option is also part of the object, this will overwrite the darkTheme option.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            darkTheme: true // optional, tells the reporter to use the `Dark Theme` template
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the title property to the htmlextra object, to pass in your own custom title to the report.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            title: 'My new report title' // optional, tells the reporter to use this as the main title in the centre of the report
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the logs property to the htmlextra object, to add console log statement output in the report.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            logs: true // optional, tells the reporter to display the console log statements in the report. This is False by default.
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the skipHeaders property to the htmlextra object, to pass in an array of header names. It will then not output those headers and their values to the report, for both requests and responses.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            skipHeaders: [ 'Server', 'Authorization', 'X-Powered-By' ] // optional, tells the reporter to not output these headers and their values in the report. This is false by default.
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the omitHeaders property to the htmlextra object, to exclude all the request and response headers.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            omitHeaders: true // optional, tells the reporter not to output the headers for each request and response in the report. This is false by default.
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the hideResponse property to the htmlextra object, to pass in an array of Request names. It will then not include the Response Body for those requests.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            hideResponse: [ 'Ping the API'], // optional, tells the reporter to not output the response body of the request in the report.
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Add the skipSensitiveData property to the htmlextra object, to exclude headers and bodies in all requests and responses.

const newman = require('newman');

newman.run({
    collection: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Collection.json'), // can also provide a URL or path to a local JSON file.
    environment: require('./examples/Restful_Booker_Environment.json'),
    reporters: 'htmlextra',
    reporter: {
        htmlextra: {
            export: './<html file path>', // If not specified, the file will be written to `newman/` in the current working directory.
            skipSensitiveData: true // optional, tells the reporter not to output headers and bodies for each request and response in the report. This is false by default.
        }
    }
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Report Examples

Light Theme

Dark Theme

Show Only Failures

If you have multiple requests in your collections the report can become quite verbose, I've added a flag option to just create the report with only the requests that have Failed tests. This is very similar to the default report but the folders will already be expanded, if their are any failed tests.

Console Logs

The console.log() statements used in the Collections are shown in the main request view, these were previously separated out into its own section but these have been now brought together and part of the request that they relate too.
