Runner

The Runner is a powerful tool that allows you to run a collection of requests sequentially. You can also configure the run settings to suit your needs.

​

Running a Collection

To run a collection:

• Right-click on the collection and select the “Run Collection” option.
• Alternatively, hover over the collection name and click on the “Run Collection” icon.

You can choose to run the collection from the CLI or through the web interface based on your preference. A new tab will open where you can configure the run settings as described below.

​

Run Settings

1. Delay: Set an interval delay (in milliseconds) between running each request.
2. Stop Run if Error Occurs: The collection run stops if an error is encountered within a script or if there’s a problem sending a request.
3. Persist Responses: Log response headers and bodies for review after running the collection. Note that persisting responses may impact performance for large collections.

​

Executing the Run

After setting up your preferences, start the collection runner. A new tab will display, showing real-time execution details, including:

• Collection: The name of the collection being executed.
• Environment: The active environment at runtime.
• Duration: Total time taken to complete the run.
• Average Response Time: The mean response time across all requests.

​

Running and Post-Run Actions

• Stop: Stop the current run at any time.
• Run Again: When a run completes, you can restart with the same configurations as needed.
• New Run: Stop the current run and restart with new settings.

​

Runner Results

The results view provides a comprehensive summary of your collection run, including:

• Request Status: Success or failure of each request, along with HTTP status codes.
• Tests: Detailed views of tests that passed or failed.
• Persisted Responses: If enabled, view headers and bodies by selecting each request; otherwise, this section remains hidden.
