Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Using pw.env.get or pw.env.resolve in pre-request script does not fetch variables defined as request variables.

Steps to reproduce

Create new request (to https://echo.hoppscotch.io for example)

Create a request variable (not global) for example "aaa" with a value

// Set an environment variable
var option1=pw.env.resolve("<<aaa>>");
var option2=pw.env.get("aaa");

debugger;

both "option" variables are undefined

Environment

Production

Version

Cloud

This is ~~sadly~~ intended. We can still only get and set global environments variables. The issue tracking the progress of the implementation of, for example, get and set request variables is here: #4590

Hi, we've introduced a hopp namespace housing new scripting methods as proposed in https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/discussions/5221 that includes support for managing request variables from the scripting context.

It's not recommended to migrate or rework your existing scripts for the new scripting APIs just yet. Breaking changes are expected as the system evolves.

The rollout is intentionally gradual to gather feedback and refine based on real-world use. All future changes will be scoped to the experimental scripting sandbox (enabled by default; can be toggled in Settings → Experiments). Please feel free to take it for a spin and let us know your feedback via the RFC above.
