Newman: Feature Request: Add start time and end time for each iteration.

[adityaofficial10]

1. Newman Version (can be found via newman -v): 5.2.2
2. OS details (type, version, and architecture): Mac OSX Big Sur 11.1
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: NA
5. Expected behaviour: None
6. Command / script used to run Newman: None
7. Sample collection, and auxiliary files (minus the sensitive details): None
8. Screenshots (if applicable): None

It would be really great if start time and end time for each iteration was available.
It gets useful when we have to pick up stats from the JSON report.
So, JSON report should have start and end times for each iteration.

Hey @vishesh13byte !
Actually I just submitted a patch that will fix this.
But if you want good first issues, then I don't think there are many right now..
I have some ideas which I might open here.
You can work on them.

As for the codebase, just start through the lib directory and go through the code by logging parameters and objects.
You can debug your code locally by running ' node ./bin/newman run . [options] '.
I guess this should help.😄

Hi @adityaofficial10, I'm Ankit, a 19 year old full stack JS developer and lover of the Postman software. I actually wish to start contributing to the Newman Request and Newman Dashboard project.

Currently, I am reading official docs of all the concepts such as IPC, threading, that you have mentioned in the project ideas. Can you provide me a starting point or issue to start working with the codebase ? I am kind of a newbie here and the mailing list doesn't seem to work.

I am documenting all the knowledge and contribution guidelines in a Google Doc so that I can share it with other onboarders like me to start developing quickly and easily

Also, more than anything, thanks a tonne to you and the Postman team for developing such an amazing application to design and test APIs. This software is truly a lifesaver and a celebration of the power open-source development can bring. 🥇

@crew-guy
I am not a member of the Postman team.😅
I am an open source contributor and working with Postman for some time now.
If you want to contribute, just start going through the codebase and logging to see what every function consists of.

But yeah I can definitely help you getting started.
And please if you have questions, use the GSoC thread on the forum.
Let's keep the issue tracker clean. 😅

Cool. Thanks a lot Aditya !!

You can read the official contributing guidelines if that's what you're looking for.
