Thank you for talking about how to reference variables! This was really helpful. What is the difference between current value and initial value? I think that is in the 2019 Postman edition.

@RaghavPal 4 жыл бұрын

As mentioned in my other comment, in new ver of Postman now we have 2 values for a variable, initial and current, you can set the same value at both places, During execution current value will be referred. If you goto Settings > General, you can find a setting for Automatically persist variable values: Enabling this will persist the current value of variables to the initial value at the end of every request execution. This option is by default off for new users. For old users upgrading to the newest versions, this option is turned on. These settings apply only when assigning current values using scripts, for instance pre-request or test scripts. For detailed information on how this feature works in tandem with another option, refer to the section Keep Variable Values. learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/launching_postman/settings/

Hi @Raghav , could you explain further the differences between global variable and environments? I tried to google it but still can't really get the differences...

@RaghavPal 4 жыл бұрын

Hi, The diff is as follows: 1. Scope- Environment variables can be accessed with the corresponding environments. Global variables can be accessed broadly regardless of the selected environment. 2. Priority : priority is as follows: - local - data - environment - collection - global So in case a global variables shares same name with an environment variables, at runtime value will be referenced from env variable 3. Getting & Setting variables through scripts - Global - pm.globals.set() - pm.globals.get() - Env - pm.environment.set() - pm.environment.get() learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/environments_and_globals/intro_to_environments_and_globals/ pm.variables is for local variables for e.g. pm.variables.set("variable_key", "variable_value"); Local variables are temporary values you set in your request scripts. Also //access a variable at any scope including local pm.variables.get("variable_key"); //access a global variable

Hi Sani, this is in new version, the value you put in current value will be personal to you and what you put in initial value will be public when you share your collection in teams. For your personal projects you can leave initial value blank or can put the same value at both places During execution, current value will be referred.

First of all thanks for your tutorial. There are very clear. However I don't understand what is the usefulness of global variables. I have the impression that you create variables with random names and random values. But can you explain me how is it possible to attribute them real values? Personnaly, I'm looking for to use them to store values which come from a website thanks to webhooks. I want that each time I create/delete/update an object on this website, this one send the json file to Postman and display this file on a summary/notification screen. After researching, I believed to understand that it's possible thanks to global variables but even with the documentation, I don't know how to use them. I'm french and I don't speak really well english for know. So may be I missed an important subtlet. Thanks for your attention ! :)

HI. When using variable {{url}} instead of the address, I receive a 404 error and response type in html. But when I change back to the full address, everything is fine. I receive 200 message and response is in JSON. Why is that?

@RaghavPal 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Bina, pls check if you are referring the variable from env, the env should be selected from the dropdown, (top right corner). Also you can check if the value is being referred in the final request using console output. Watch - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMthhdaKyM3Pg40.html

@hksaini4934 5 жыл бұрын

I think its compatibility issue. I am getting "Installation has failed: There was an error while installing the application. check the set up log for more information and contact author." My machine is old and not compatible with the exe file I believe. Tried on new machine I can see the variable under the edit. However When I am following the exactly same steps I am getting 404 instead of 200 response. The only difference i can see is under variable I have "Initial Value" and "Current Value" columns. Any ideas why I am getting 404? Thanks!

I had to upgrade my desktop app to v6.3 to see the Variable tab. Not being supported in Chrome is going to be a pain at work, where we don't have the client available. Variables is a great enhancement.

The section on Global Variables was confusing and I do not understand the context of how this relates to the other part you did on variables in this session. What benefit does it provide to us to set up your "name" and "environment"? Technically, if you wanted that url variable you set at a lower level related to Requests such as GetUser and GetUserList to be used all the time for any requests made in any collection, would you then want to set this at Global Variables instead? was that the point?

@RaghavPal 4 жыл бұрын

Hi James, yes, in general if there is a value that you may want to use at multiple places we can put that in a variable and refer from there. Also in the coming sessions, will learn about Env variables.
