Newman: Query: Does Postman/Newman support running Collections/Jsons from another Master Collection/Json?

[saratrajan]

App Details:

Postman for Windows
Version 6.0.10
win32 10.0.16299 / x64

Query:

Is there a way to run Collections from a master level?
e.g: I have module-wise collections for each APIs. I need to be able to run all of them (or some of them) by mentioning the items/order from another Collection (like a Master).

I am not sure if this was a Postman or Newman question. So posting on both the forums.

@saratrajan Could you provide more context on how these collections are arranged relative to each other? If they're files in a folder, then you can use Newman as has been described here: https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman/blob/develop/examples/run-collections-in-directory.js, in order to run the collections together.

Alternatively, you can effectively trigger collection runs from within a collection by combining the Monitor trigger API with the inbuilt pm.sendRequest feature, which is documented here: https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v5/postman/scripts/postman_sandbox_api_reference#pmsendrequest
