Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

When using Hoppscotch, it is very cumbersome to update environment variables when they are URLs. It is also not possible to see if you have a wrong value since the full value is not displayed.

Here's an example when an URL from production was put by mistake in my fabrication environment :

Currently the best solution I have to deal with this is to export the environment as JSON, edit it by hand in a correct editor, then import it again which is not ideal.

Could you make the "Edit environment" screen larger, more specifically the second column which is the one that may contains long strings ?

Why should this be worked on?

  • by allowing the user to see the value of a variable in full, we limit the risk to commit mistake (by putting a prod env url instead of a fab env url for example)
  • less chance to commit a mistake by typing something when you see what you are typing
  • this feature makes the app more fluid and pleasant to use
  • the user will loose less time trying to debug something if he can see all the environment variables at once

Can't assign anything on my side. Need a project owner to do it.

The environment edit modal is now wider, so you can comfortably type in long input fields without any issues.
