cannot see postman test results azure devops - azure-devops

Question

I have some postman collections and I would like to run them in azure devops,
for whatever the reason my tests are not published.
What Am I missing?
If I remove "reporters: junit i can see the result in the step. I was expecting a tab "test" next to summary

Based on my test, I could reproduce your issue.
Here are the following points, you need to check:
The XML file path in Publish Test Result task.
By default, the Junit xml file will be saved at newman folder.
You could set the file path with the following path:
- task: PublishTestResults#2
displayName: 'Publish Test Results **/*/*.xml'
inputs:
testResultsFiles: '**/*/*.xml'
You can also change the Junit file output path: reporterJUnitExport field in NewmanPostman task
Example:
- task: NewmanPostman#4
displayName: 'Newman - Postman'
inputs:
collectionFileSource: '$(build.sourcesdirectory)'
Contents: 'kevintest123.postman_collection.json'
environmentSourceType: none
ignoreRedirect: false
bail: false
sslInsecure: false
reporters: junit
htmlExtraDarkTheme: false
htmlExtraLogs: false
htmlExtraTestPaging: false
reporterJUnitExport: '$(Build.sourcesdirectory)\Results\junitReport.xml'
You need to make sure that the Json file contain the test. When you Export the files in Postman, you need to add the content in test tab:
Here is a doc about Add test in Postman.
Then you could publish the test result to the test tab successfully via Publish test Restlt task.
Or you will get the following issue and the test result Junit xml file doesn't contain the test result:
Update:
Cannot find "continue on error" anywhere.anyideas

Junit report is generated in the newman folder in the current directory. You change this location as:
--reporter-junit-export a.xml
--reporter-junit-export folder/a.xml
this will generate report as a.xml or a.xml in the folder/directory you specified.
you have to publish that using publishtest result , if you are not using --reporter-junit-export , then make sure workingdirectory for all the steps are same.
else give full path as :
--reporter-junit-export c:/folder/a.xml
and
in step give the full path of report:
- task: PublishTestResults#2
inputs:
testResultsFormat: 'JUnit' # Options: JUnit, NUnit, VSTest, xUnit
testResultsFiles: 'c:/folder/a.xml'
