I have written test cases for API collections in postman and trying to run those through Newman plug-in in my local machine. I have downloaded the JSON file in documents on my mac

Answer 1

You have defined a variable base_url, and newman doesn't know it.

Define base_url as an environment variable, export it, and pass the file as a parameter to newman.

Alternatively, you could simply add that one value to your newman call, by adding: --env-var base_url=https://YourUrl
