RUNNER & CLI

Lite

Every request. In order. Every time.

Open the Runner from the status bar (or Ctrl+Shift+R), pick a collection, attach a data file, set iterations — and watch every request stream by with live pass/fail results. Then run the same collection from CI with rosty-cli.

Rostyman collection runner showing per-request pass/fail results, iteration count, and export options

Why this is different

Paid tiers and cloud runs are common in this category. Rostyman's runner is free, local, and identical whether triggered from the GUI or the CLI. The same result artifacts, the same logs, the same exit codes.

GUI RUNNER

Point, click, run the whole thing.

Pick a collection, optionally attach a data file, set iterations and delay. Press Run. Every request executes in the order you set, assertions run, and you get a clean pass/fail report with full response snapshots for every iteration.

Data-driven testing

Attach a CSV or JSON file. Each row becomes one iteration. Columns map to variables available in every request.

rosty-cli for CI

The exact same runner, usable from any shell. Ships with the app — no separate install, no npm required.

Added to your PATH automatically when you install Rostyman.

Database-native

Run by collection name — reads directly from Rostyman's SQLite database. No export step.

rosty-cli run "users-api"

Browse collections

List every collection across all workspaces without opening the app.

rosty-cli list

CI-ready

Exit code 0 on pass, 1 on failure. JUnit XML output for test dashboards.

--reporters cli,junit

Same engine as the app — nothing left behind

rosty-cli runs requests through the app's own engine cores, so a collection behaves identically in CI and in the GUI.

Output & CI flags

--reporters cli,json,junitOne or more output reporters

--reporter-json-export <f>Write JSON report to file

--reporter-junit-export <f>Write JUnit XML to file

--db-path <path>Custom DB path (for CI servers)

--workspace <name|id>Target a specific workspace

--version / --helpVersion info and full usage

Running on a CI server without the app? Copy rostyman.db to the server and pass --db-path /path/to/rostyman.db. Alternatively export the collection to JSON and run it on any machine with Node 22+ — no app install required.

Runs on your machine.

No cloud execution engine. No pay-per-run. No limits on iterations. Your CPU is the only ceiling.

Run locally. Ship with CI.

One runner, everywhere you need it.
