Management of Data and JavaScript Libraries while executing Data Driven Postman Collections

[RJ05]

Hi,

Is there a way to specify location of data files used by Postman Collections or we may have to enhance to the whole solution to incorporate the same.

Thanks,
Rahul Jain

Are you talking about the collection specification files itself?

[RJ05]

Various other command line arguments which Newman provides https://www.npmjs.com/package/newman

-g <source>, --globals <source>
Specify file path or URL for global variables. Global variables are similar to environment variables but has a lower precedence and can be overridden by environment variables having same name.

-d <source>, --iteration-data <source>
Specify a data source file (CSV) to be used for iteration as a path to a file or as a URL. Read More

-n <number>, --iteration-count <number>
Specifies the number of times the collection has to be run when used in conjunction with iteration data file.

Good point, I didn't use newman for a while. These options must be new and should be integrated.

Regarding the strange chars in the terminal: I'm quite sure that's an issue with the terminal, that cannot interpret color codes or can't show unicode. Both can be disabled with the options.

I made required changes with new node plugins update and accept data file. Let me know, how I could contribute to commit the code and publish the plugins.

That's great. I'll just accepted the requests for now and trust it will work. I'm out for the weekend, so I can't check it by myself.
In general we have a lack of automatic testing the plugin. I was playing with the gradle plugin testing mechanism lately, but it's far from being ready...

Are there plans to merge these changes and release a new version?

Can this pr be merged? Also, curious if csv file support can be added.

@simomat, can you please get this one merged.
