I'm trying to get the value of:
"id": "598a1843-12f0-42ea-819d-944c1e1d6060",
"name": "Result5",
"type": "string"
I managed a way to get the values.
Now, i have 9 env variables for id, name and type and i want to pass the values to them without creating a set event for each.
the env variables are:
varID1 to varID9,
varName1 to varName9,
varType1 to varType9.
I'm trying the bellow code but the name created by"varID ='varId'+k", e.g varID1 isn´t used on the set.
i can´t see why this doesn´t work.
for ( var j = 0; j < test ; j ++ ) {
var k = j + 1;
var varID ='varId'+k;
var varName ='varName'+k;
var varType ='varType'+k;
pm.environment.set(varID, jsonData[key].variables[j].id);
pm.environment.set(varName, jsonData[key].variables[j].name);
pm.environment.set(varType, jsonData[key].variables[j].type);
console.log(varID + " " + jsonData[key].variables[j].id );
console.log(varName + " " + jsonData[key].variables[j].name);
console.log(varType + " " + jsonData[key].variables[j].type);
}
Do you have a suggestion?

Would this help you achieve the same thing? It could be cleaner but I think it would be the same.
let idCount = 1
let nameCount = 1
let typeCount = 1
_.each(_.first(pm.response.json()).variables, (arrItem) => {
pm.environment.set(`varID${idCount ++}`, arrItem.id);
pm.environment.set(`varName${nameCount ++}`, arrItem.name);
pm.environment.set(`varType${typeCount ++}`, arrItem.type);
})
It would store the variables like this:
