I believe it is the same problem.
I will additionally say that this is happening on macOS with M2 chip and I see the same behavior when run on github actions (Ubuntu - 22.04.2 -LTS).
Not sure if that is the culprit but have already tried all suggested steps (global uninstall, install etc.).

When a newman run is triggered with -r htmlextra, the command seems to be stuck, there's no sign of progress.

It generated the html report but there is no output on the console. Tried with --verbose to see if that would make any difference, no luck.

The command I use is: newman run postman/collections/api-smoke.json -e postman/environments/qa.json -r htmlextra

Steps To Reproduce The Issue

1. Run newman with the hmtlextra flag e.g. newman run postman/collections/api-smoke.json -e postman/environments/qa.json -r htmlextra
2. There is no sign of progress, no output on terminal.

Hey @mustaphadem

Does it show the output if you use --reporter-htmlextra-displayProgressBar?

By default, the reporter doesn't output anything, i did add in a progress bar but this didn't render well when used with other reporters. I ended up putting it behind an option flag in an earlier version https://github.com/DannyDainton/newman-reporter-htmlextra/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#1225---2022-01-27

Hi @DannyDainton,

Thank you for the prompt response, I really appreciate it! Yes, when I use the displayProgressBar flag, it shows the progress bar. So not seeing the regular newman outputs during a run with -r htmlextra is the expected behavior then? If yes, I will be closing this ticket.

Thank you so much.

To see the Newman output or the requests, you'll need to add the cli reporter (e.g. -r htmlextra,cli) to the command.

If you're just using Newman without any reporters, it will display the cli output by default.

that makes so much sense, thank you! Closing.
