Update environment variable in Postman using Newman

I'm using Newman and Postman to test a website.

My Newman command construction looks like:

newman run

"https://api.getpostman.com/collections/{collection_id}?apikey={my_postman_api_key}"

--environment "https://api.getpostman.com/environments/{environment_id}?apikey={my_postman_api_key}"

--export-environment "https://api.getpostman.com/environments/{environment_id}?apikey={my_postman_api_key}"

--insecure

This all works fine but my environment values don't update after the Newman run.

In my request, I use a Pre-request Script to update the value:

var mail = pm.environment.get("mail_randomizer");

pm.environment.set("mail_randomizer", Number(mail) + 1);

After sending this request in Postman, the value for the mail_randomizer variable has gone up by 1 but after running the request using Newman, it doesn't work.

How can I export the environment correctly in Newman?

What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? What happens? Can you provide any images of what you're seeing? The Newman environment export command looks right to me.

Yeah I get that...What happens to the query? Did it run with the updated value but not export the new value? Does any of the tests that you may have fail? Need more details to know what's going on.

Next query will not work because my value should be unique. So, I receive a red failed assertion in Newman log. But if I will re-send this request in Postman, my variable will be successfully updated and will be available to the Newman test. The first test will be passed because my value will be still unique, but after that, the next Newman test will fail because my value will not update in the environment.

@EugeneTruuts Can you share the collection in which this is happening? Retract any sensitive information. (Replace url's with postman-echo.com if you need)
