Newman: Request Headers in HTML Reports Not Working

[mccannt]

1. Newman Version (can be found via newman -v):
   3.9.3
2. OS details (type, version, and architecture):
   Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
3. Are you using Newman as a library, or via the CLI?
   CLI
4. Did you encounter this recently, or has this bug always been there:
   First time trying it.
5. Expected behaviour:
   I was expecting that I would be able to see the Request headers in the HTML report.
   
   
   
   1. Command / script used to run Newman:
      
      Via Jenkins build:
   
   

sudo docker run -v $PWD:/etc/newman postman/newman_ubuntu1404:latest \
    run "collections/$testSuite/collection.json" \
    --disable-unicode \
    --color \
    --delay-request 100 \
    --reporters "cli,html" \
    --environment "environments/$environment.json" \
    --reporter-html-export "collections/$testSuite/results/${BUILD_NUMBER}-${testSuite}-${environment}-${gitBranch}-results.html" \
    --reporter-html-template "collections/$testSuite/results/results_template.hbs"

I have noticed that when I modify my results template to include the Request Headers and Request Body that for some reason the Headers are not being populated.

Here is the code that I have added:

<div class="col-md-12">&nbsp;</div>
<br/><div class="col-md-4">Request Headers</div><div class="col-md-8">{{request.headers}}</div><br/>

I have verified that if I do something like console.log(request.headers); in the Postman app that I am seeing the object and values in the console as expected. However in Newman that doesnt seem to be the case.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?

@mccannt Could you take a look at the workaround suggested in https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman/issues/1376?

[mccannt]

@kunagpal Thx for the quick reply.

Are you talking about something like this? ...

<div class="col-md-12">&nbsp;</div>
<br/><div class="col-md-4">Request Headers</div><div class="col-md-8">
{{#each request.headers}}
  <div class="col-md-8"><b>{{this.key}}:</b> {{this.value}}</div>
{{/each}}</div><br/>

I tried that block of code and did not have any luck.

@mccannt You'll have to use @key and @value for the request headers names and values respectively, instead of this.key and this.value.

I tried {{@key}}
but response is

members |  
-- | --
reference |  
Type |  
_postman_listIndexKey |  
_postman_listIndexCaseInsensitive |  
_postman_listAllowsMultipleValues

and for {{@value}}
blank values.

can you please help
@kunagpal

Facing the exact same problem as @ssharmasurender3 . The @key is not showing the actual headers that I am sending in the request and @value is all blanks.

It seems that the information is hidden inside request.headers.members (which seems kind of wrong). Can this bug ticket be reopened @kunagpal?

So the only workaround I could find was the following:

{{#each request.headers.members}}
<tr>
    <td class="text-nowrap">{{key}}</td>
    <td>{{value}}</td>
</tr>
{{/each}}

[ssharmasurender3]

Excellent

Brilliant, thanks!

Also. To add, the full structure of the header objects in the headers.members are listed here http://www.postmanlabs.com/postman-collection/Header.html

Just adding this for reference and a potential workaround for the issue here:

A different version of the html reporter called htmlextra includes the request and response Headers, for each of the requests in your collections.

Yes, I was using htmlextra 1.6.6. and it has this "featurebug". Took a day for me to check around how others work with request headers/params :/.

[DannyDainton]

It's now on 1.6.9 - Can you update and try again?

If you check the CHANGELOG.md file, it was added in 1.6.8.

Hey,
Thanks, it works now, I did the same meanwhile. Also would you add this in case of request params, please?
{{#if body.urlencoded}}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 mb-3">
<div class="card-deck">
<div class="card border-info" style="width: 50rem;">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title text-uppercase text-white text-center bg-info">Request Parameters</h5>
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead class="text-white text-center"><tr><th>Parameter Name</th><th>Parameter Value</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
{{#each body.urlencoded.members}}
<tr>
<td class="text-nowrap">{{key}}</td>
<td>{{value}}</td>
</tr>
{{/each}}
</tbody>
</table>
