Run Collection

The Collection Runner will execute all requests in the collection and display the output in a beautiful format similar to the extension UI.

Run Single Collection

• tc --col 'colNameOrId' will run requests in the collection from the CLI

Run Multiple Collections

• tc --col "colNameOrId1,colNameOrId2" will run multiple collections from the CLI

Run All Collections

• tc --col all will run all collections from the CLI
• tc --col all --skip "ColA,ColB" will run all collections except ColA & ColB

Run Collection in Parallel

• tc --col 'colNameOrId' --concurrent 5 will run 5 requests at a time in parallel from the CLI

Run Folder

• tc --fol 'folNameOrId' will run requests in the folder from the CLI

Run Multiple Folders

• tc --fol 'folNameOrId1,folNameOrId2' will run requests in the folders from the CLI

Run Selected Requests

• tc --reqlist "nameOrId1,nameOrId2,nameOrId3" will run selected requests from the collection

Run Options

Environment

By default, the collection or request will use the active environment. If you would like to run using a different environment, use the --env argument.

• Example: tc --col 'colNameOrId' --env 'Staging'

Environment Variable Values

You can override environment variable values using the --var-data argument. The input format is name1=value1,name2=value2.

• Example: tc --col 'colNameOrId' --var-data "name1=value1,name2=value2"

Data File

By default, the runner will use the data file attached in the Run Collection UI. If you would like to run using a different data file, use the --data-file argument.

• Example: tc --col 'colNameOrId' --data-file 'relativePathOrFullPath'
• The input file can be in CSV or JSON formats

Iterations

By default, the runner will run the collection for the number of iterations selected in the Run Collection UI. If you would like to run a specific number of iterations, use the --iterations argument.

• Example: tc --col 'colNameOrId' --iterations 10

Delay

By default, the runner will run the collection using the delay value selected in the Run Collection UI. If you would like to run using a specific delay, use the --delay argument.

• Example: tc --col 'colNameOrId' --delay 100 (delay in milliseconds)
• This will add a delay of 100 milliseconds between each request

Reports

The CLI can generate reports in cli, csv, html, json, xml and nunit formats.

• tc --col 'User' --report xml,html This command will execute all requests and save the reports in the thunder-reports folder

Report Types

• The xml option generates a report in the JUnit format.
• The nunit option generates a report in the NUnit format, suitable for Xray (opens in a new tab) integration.
• The cli option displays the report data directly in the terminal.

Open Run Collection UI from CLI

If you would like to execute Run Collection in the extension UI quickly, you can do it easily from the CLI using the --ui argument.

• tc --col 'User' --ui To open a collection runner in the UI and execute automatically
• tc --col 'User' --ui2 To open a collection runner in the UI without auto-run
