Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3184

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Would be nice if it would be possible to access the environment variables in the tests as it is possible in Postman.

Why should this be worked on?

Sometimes you have multiple requests where the next request uses a value of the result from the previous request. Currently if trying to set an environment variable in a test ends up with an error running the test.

pw.env.set("myVar", "some value");

Hi @koehler0179, can you share the error logs when you ran the Test scripts?

Hoppscotch Test scripts have support for environment context and can add, append and edit environment variables from test scripts. Documentation: https://docs.hoppscotch.io/documentation/features/scripts#pwenvgetvariable

pw.env.set("baseURL", "https://httpbin.org");

Okay, my fault. Value always has to be converted to string to work. Tried to set a bool and that was throwing an error.

pw.env.set("myVar", true);
or:
pw.env.set("myVar", 1);

Would be nice to have an any type as value that is internal converted to a string.
