Hey @bheemreddy181

With the details that you have provided, there's very little I can do, I wouldn't be able to recreate that. Help me to help you by providing more context and expanding on any debugging steps that you have done, for example:

• Is this happening for all reporters?
• Have you tried with a different collection?
• Have you tried uninstalling and installing the reporter?
• Have you tried running it in a different terminal?

Also -k true isn't valid so it would probably fail (in silent by the looks of it) as it's looking for something called true in that command.

Try this instead - newman run <PATH> -e <PATH> -k -r htmlextra

I will try to add as much as information i can Danny. I agree there is very little info out there.

• Is this happening for all reporters?
  No Other reports work fine

• Have you tried with a different collection?
  Yes, i did try different collections - same issue

• Have you tried uninstalling and installing the reporter?
  Yes, I did try that, I was facing a similar issue. I did full uninstall and install.
• Have you tried running it in a different terminal?
  Yes did try that. same issue

I updated the command -k. are there any log files I should look at?

Do you use nvm? Have you tried a different version of node?

[bheemreddy181]

I tried switching from v17 to v10 for node

I have absolutely no idea what's happening then. 🤔

To be honest, the weekly downloads are at about 80k and I haven't seen a report about it doing this for them.

I suspect it's some kind of environmental issue with your set up - it's the only thing I can think of. 😞

You can do a full global uninstall of Newman and the reporter and reinstall again.

npm uninstall -g newman newman-reporter-htmlextra

Then do

npm install -g newman newman-reporter-htmlextra

I'm just suggesting anything now as I honestly don't know what's happening.

I feel the same could be my setup that is causing the issue, I will try this over a different VM and will let you know.

[DannyDainton]

Any luck with this issue? Were you able to try this in a different environment?

[bheemreddy181-zz]

Not yet Danny.I will close this for now as we have not seen others reporting it. I will figure out about it on a VM or CI env this week.

[bheemreddy181]

Working fine on a different VM. Thanks for the insights and help, Danny.
