postman.setEnvironmentVariable("documentNumRequest", pm.environment.get(documentNumUserPF));
Postman noob here. I have this POST call and I want to put the value of "documentNumUserPF" in "documentNumRequest", but i couldn't use the environment variables inside the code. Any tips?
Error:
ReferenceError: documentNumUserPF is not defined
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("documentNumRequest", pm.environment.get("documentNumUserPF"));
you are telling to get variable with name documentNumRequest so enclose it with qoutes
https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/3648
postman keyword will be deprecated in future , so move to new pm api and use it more
pm.environment.set("documentNumRequest", pm.environment.get("documentNumUserPF"));

Whenever I am adding this documentation to Postman, it changes my global variable /{{tenantName}} to an object like /:tenantName.
Does anybody have solution for it?
I'm getting the following error:
com.amazon.coral.service#UnknownOperationException
not sure what's the issue?
postman call
postman variables
Just a guess - put the &version= in the URL, not in the variable or the & will get escaped.
& is converted to & in variables so action would contain GetDatabase&Version=2016-11-15 instead of GetDatabase and version would not be set.
Your URL should probably end with ?Action={{Action}}&Version={{version}} and your version variable would just be the date
I have variable "TOKEN" in my collection scope. I try to set the value using Tests scripts when do a request. But the variable not changed.
So, I try to use environment scope variable. And It works.
Why It's doesn't work when in collection scope? I had read about postman variable scope here and understand it well.
Here're some screenshots:
1. First, I call login endpoint.
Below is the console result. Nothing wrong.
Until I try to get all users endpoint that required token in request header. The status is 401 because the token is null. If the token is not null, then it will return 200:
It's gracefully working when I add "TOKEN" variable to environment. Switch to No Environment again will result 401 status code:
This may be new since this question was posted, but for anyone else
finding this, you can set collection variables using:
pm.collectionVariables.set(key, value)
See:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/variables/#defining-variables-in-scripts
You can now use:
pm.collectionVariables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
In my original answer in June 2019, I wrote that collection variables are not editable through scripts, and can only be changed manually. As noted, this is no longer the case. . . .*
Turn off Automatic persist variable values from postman settings.

It seems you can only set env variables when some environment is selected: https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/scripts/postman-sandbox/#environment-and-global-variables
When I add environment variables I can use them in my post body with {{varName}}. But this does not work for collection variables (Collection > edit > Variables tab)
With the settings as shown above, if I add {{firstName}} to my body it does not work. How can I access these collection variables in my posts?
Currently if I try to post postman will just hang for a while then give this error
Error: Script execution timed out.↵ at
ContextifyScript.Script.runInContext (vm.js:53:29)
If I use an environment variable or just type in a value it works fine.
Also, you need to make sure to save the request to the belonging collection before you can use it!
It turns out {{varName}} does work. The problem was in my pre-request script. The API I was connecting to requires a checksum on the body so it pre-processes the variables in the body, but it was not setup to handle collection variables. This was causing postman to fail. User error.
I have create global variable. Set it as Test as env variaable corresponding quote id were stored in the CreateGLVar
pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
pm.response.to.have.status(200);});
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("CreateGLVar",jsonData.result.quoteID);
script for storing the value in Env variable
May i know how i can use value which is stored in the CreateGLVar for the below script. how i can the quote id from first request from global variable and insert dynamically in the second request( shown below) .
get quote id
enter image description here
Postman uses double curly braces to insert variables, which can also be used in raw request bodies.
In your specific case you can use:
"quoteID": "{{quoteIdVariable}}"
I am using the Postman Chrome extension Version 5.3.1, and this works for me.
Edit: Now that the Chrome extension has been depricated, this still works with the Postman Desktop app
Thanks Aaron.

But I got issue when i executed API's as collection( Quote and Bind API). What i missing here if i executed as collection.
