Fail to run Postman Remote URL with Docker and Environment File

I am able to run the postman collection below with environment file from the command line using newman

newman run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/b9dc5f129194190a8e54 -e Local.postman_environment.json

If I try using docker command below it fails with environment file not found.

docker run -t postman/newman_ubuntu1404 run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/b9dc5f129194190a8e54 -e Local.postman_environment.json
error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'Local.postman_environment.json'

If I run without the environment file in the command, the collection is run successfully but suffice to say the environment variables are missing. Presumably something wrong in the way I am sending the command which includes the environment file?

I had this trouble too and it was so annoying - You may need to specify a volume. I don't like sharing links to work but I managed to do it for this in the end, not sure if some of it might help you github.com/DannyDainton/postman-docker

Thanks Danny. I actually found your notes on postman which shortly after which helped a lot! I very quickly hit another barrier whereby my collection is being run before my web app is ready. Seems to be not uncommon. You may have had it also. Problem is it's not enough to check TCP connection as this does not ensure the app is ready. I'm having a problem in my docker-compose config to call a wait script before running the collection

Can it use a depends_on or something in the compose file?

depends_on is there. There is the option to use healthchecks which should be simple to add in the app config

Figured out both problems

In docker-compose.yaml file:

 postman_checks:

    container_name: postman_test

    build: .

    image: postman/newman_ubuntu1404

    command:

      run https://www.getpostman.com/collections/12345129194190a8e54

      -e ./postman/Local.postman_environment.json

      -g ./postman/postman_globals.json



healthcheck:

   test: ["CMD",  "curl", "http://127.0.0.1:8680"]

   interval: 25s

   timeout: 5s

   retries: 50

The port 8680 in the health check is the internal docker port, not external. It's possible to connect to the container - docker inspect and look for State.Health
