#Postman mac brew plus

Selected libraries plus bundled ones (non-browser, non-Node.js APIs) Postman also supports javascript to do various tasks, but the focus is on exposing features via a richer set of GUI elements. Since k6 is scriptable from the start, you have the option to write the logic in JavaScript. To be fair, I have included features from Postman GUI application. Here's a quick comparison of the Postman API versus the k6 API. Then, I replaced the jsonData.hasOwnProperty syntax with the equivalent k6 syntax for extracting JSON response information: response.json('selector'). What adjustments did you make to the script to make it work?įirst, I removed the pre-script containing pm.sendRequest, because it is not supported by the converter. For a list of compatible libraries, please see jslib.k6.io.ģ. This can be fixed by importing bundled JavaScript modules. Since k6 uses Goja to run JavaScript, and it is not compatible with browsers' and Node.js APIs, hence there are some missing functionality. Is everything available out of the box in the converted script? If you convert from postman collections continuously, however, and run the script output as-is, it might make sense to keep it as is.Ģ. We recommend you to use the converter as an easy way to onboard and then rewrite your scripts to idiomatic k6 code, as we believe it to be more maintainable and less likely to degrade over time.

To ease testing of our test API and demonstrate the usage of our Postman to k6 converter, I've created a Postman collection with almost all of our test API requests. The order is very important in the private APIs, since you cannot delete a non-existing resource, for example. The extracted token is used to make other API calls. For the private APIs, a user is created and its token is extracted. The scenario is to test all the public and private APIs.
