How to enable Postman's Newman verbose output? (to show request's body)

Question

When running a collection test with Newman, I'd like it to display the request body sent, to have a more detailed record of the test (and making sure the environment variables were replaced correctly).

I checked the Newman command line options at the project documentation and found nothing, and the -O option described in this old issue is not working.

I'd like to know how to activate the verbose output.

Answer 1

try the --verbose option. This is an example output:

GET http://myapp:8080/b/api/v1/0 
 
  401 Unauthorized ★ 59ms time ★ 290B↑ 367B↓ size ★ 8↑ 5↓ headers ★ 0 cookies
  ┌ ↓ application/json ★ text ★ json ★ utf8 ★ 193B

This is a popular feature request that has been documented at GitHub here

As a workaround, you can add this to the post-request each test you want to log:

tests["[INFO] Request: " + JSON.stringify(request)] = true;
tests["[INFO] Response: " + responseBody] = true;
