OpenAPI Generator for Postman v2

Overview

Implementation of the OpenAPI generator for Postman format v2.1: from the Adyen OpenAPI files it generates the Postman collections in the Postman V2 JSON format.

The collections are available on the AdyenDev Postman space as well as in the Adyen Postman GitHub repository.

More on our blog Effortless API Testing with the Adyen Postman collections.

See the available options to customise the generation.

Run with Docker

Run with the pre-built image passing -i inputspec (path of the OpenAPI spec file) and -o output dir (location of the generated file i.e ./postman/gen).

It supports the following commands:

generate: create the postman.json file
push: create postman.json and push to your postman.com default My Workspace. This uses the Postman API and requires a valid API key from Postman's integrations dashboard.

# generate only
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app \
   -it --rm --name postmanv2-container ghcr.io/adyen-examples/openapi-generator-postman-v2:main generate \
   -i src/test/resources/SampleProject.yaml \
   -o tmp 

# generate only (with additional parameters)
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app \
   -it --rm --name postmanv2-container ghcr.io/adyen-examples/openapi-generator-postman-v2:main generate \
   -i src/test/resources/SampleProject.yaml \
   -o tmp \
   --additional-properties folderStrategy=Tags,postmanVariables=MY_VAR1-ANOTHERVAR


# generate and push to Postman.com
# note: require POSTMAN API KEY
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app \
   -e POSTMAN_API_KEY=YOUR_POSTMAN_API_KEY \
   -it --rm --name postmanv2-container ghcr.io/adyen-examples/openapi-generator-postman-v2:main push \
   -i src/test/resources/SampleProject.yaml \
   -o tmp \
   --additional-properties folderStrategy=Tags,postmanVariables=MY_VAR1-ANOTHERVAR

Run from source

Clone and build OpenAPI Generator CLI

Build postman-v2 from source

Run OpenAPI Generator adding postman-v2 jar file in the class path and specifying the PostmanV2Generator generator:

java -cp target/openapi-generator-postman-v2.jar:/openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator-cli/target/openapi-generator-cli.jar \
  org.openapitools.codegen.OpenAPIGenerator generate -g com.adyen.codegen.postman.PostmanV2Generator \
  -i src/test/resources/BasicJson.json -o output
