Postman Collection Run - How to Test File Uploading API on CircleCi or Jenkins

-

From last couple of days,  I was doing R&D on how we can test file uploading API on CircleCi or Postman collection Run?

Finally, I found a way to test the File uploading APIs using the Postman Desktop app  OR Postman CLI collection run.
I have also tested this solution, even on CircleCi for running the automated testing postman APIs by Postman CLI collection run.

Here is step by step process, how you can test the file uploading API on CircleCi or Postman collection Run?

Local Desktop App settings:

  • Open and go to Local Postman app settings -> General
  • Set working directly location  (default is postman installation directory but can also choose any other directory)




  • Place files (to use in file upload APIs during the collection run) in the working directory selected as in the above step and also in the root directory of your project.
  • Now go to the API in which you need to upload a file, and select the file from the working directory selected in step 2.
  • Save that API and collection.


CircleCi or Jenkins Postman command

  • Now update the command to run postman collection in .circleci/config.yml like
    postman collection run postman/ci-collection.json --working-dir [project-root-directory]   

    where project-root-directory can be /var/www/html when using docker.

Now the upload API should run normally for collection run on local Postman App and on CircleCi as well.

In case you still face any issue, please comment below, I will try to help you as soon as possible.

Note: Please keep your Postman App and CLI updated.

Using Virtual Columns in Laravel - Accessors and Appends

-
What are virtual columns?  While developing any web application sometimes we need virtual columns - columns don't actually exist in our DB table, but we drive them from other columns. Why we need them? For example, generally, we use first_name and last_name  in the  users table. But sometimes we also need user's complete name i.e. full_name . There is no benefit of saving full_name in user table if we have already first_name and last_name in the table OR even if we have full_name  as a column in our table then there is no benefit of saving first_name and last_name in the table. So in a scenario like this, we prefer to use the virtual column. Using Virtual Columns in Laravel Considering the first case, in Laravel to get virtual column i.e.  full_name  from the users table will have Accessors. Accessors are methods defined automatically called by Eloquent when select is called on that particular column. Let take an example here: To get full_...
