Bug Description

Have auth request that use post-request script to set environment session variable to be used in other requests.
Example from AWS cognito but not limited to that:
var jsonData = pw.response.body
pw.env.set("cognitoIdToken", jsonData.AuthenticationResult.IdToken);

Works in desktop. Can set header in other requests:
Authorization: Bearer <>

Does not work in CLI. Set variable does not update environment file.
Tried run local of type:
hopp test -e stageenv.json TestRun.json

In CLI variable is not set in requests after setting it but works in desktop.
In our use case it would work if variable wasnt actually written to file. Could just be updated in memory and cleared after run.

Deployment Type

Hoppscotch Cloud

Version

No response
