Is there to run only part of requests in Postman?

Question

Answer 1

you can create folders and organize test like

1. smoke_and_regression
2. smoke_only etc

you can specify which folder to run using --folder arguent when using newman as command line tool

you can also control the execution flow using postman.setNextRequest .

and also you can run newman as an npm module.

you just need to write a logic to read the collection file and get all folder names containing "smoke" for eg and pass it as an array

const newman = require('newman'); // require newman in your project

 

// call newman.run to pass `options` object and wait for callback
newman.run({
    collection: require('./sample-collection.json'),
    reporters: 'cli',
    folder: folders
}, function (err) {
    if (err) { throw err; }
    console.log('collection run complete!');
});

Just update for the comments:

in old and new UI you can select which folder to execute in collection runner
