CI/CD Integration

Thunder Client CLI can be used in build server to run collection and save reports in XML, HTML, JSON and CSV formats.

VS Code Settings: If you are using any TC VS Code settings, you need to set the scope to workspace, so the settings will be saved to the workspace directory.
Git Sync: The collection runner in build server will work only when you enable git sync feature
Reports: tc --col "ColNameOrId" --report "xml,html" command will execute all the requests and save reports in thunder-reports folder

Github Actions

The sample yaml file can be used to integrate with Github actions or other build pipelines.

Workspace Location

[Optional]: The CLI will use the current working directory as workspace directory, but if the data is in different workspace directory then use the --ws 'fullpathToGitWorkspace' to specify the workspace path.

Stop Collection When Fail

[Optional]: If you want to stop collection execution of other requests when a request test fails then use the argument --stop-on-fail
