how to specify on newman what port and host to run on

I'm trying to integrate Newman(postman CLI tool) in my app, and I want to run it first on the localhost on a specific port, and change it in accordance later on. Any suggestions on how to do that with the CLI?

Solution

  • After digging and reading a ton I've figured out the best and simplest way to do so: just setting up the following environment variable "HTTP_PROXY" to whatever and then using it with newman:

    set HTTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1:58833
newman run demo.postman_collection.json --env-var HTTP_PROXY --insecure

    Now I can listen to the above port and see all of newman's requests being sent.
