Hi @kiriti999
As of now, Hoppscotch Environment importer doesn't support Postman Environments completely. It's actually possible and I'll look into this implementation ASAP.

I suppose this will require some more time since the way Postman uses the environment variable notaions is different than that of Hoppscotch. In Hoppscotch we prefer <<variable_name>> whereas in Postman it's {{variable_name}} notation. We'll look into this on a later period. Thanks for the patience.

NOTE: feel free to raise a PR to add support for Postman environment variables if you're interested in this feature. @kiriti999

@liyasthomas I wish I could. If you can guide me which files needs to be touched to implement this feature, I can give it a try.

It seems to work for me as well.

I am using the same json file as @kiriti999.

I also found this function

importFromPostman({ name, values }) {  
      const environment = { name, variables: [] }  
      values.forEach(({ key, value }) =>  
        environment.variables.push({ key, value })  
      )  
      const environments = [environment]  
      this.importFromHoppscotch(environments)  
}

This function is executed if importFileObj._postman_variable_scope === "environment" || importFileObj._postman_variable_scope === "globals" which seems to work for any postman environment.

Can someone confirm? Let me know if something is wrong with the function, would love to contribute 👽

@boardtc commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2022):

I am using the windows app. In environments, I select Import / Export and choose "Import from Hoppscotch" (should this not be Import JSON? ) and select my Postman environment JSON file, which is the format as shown by the OP and contains 48 keys. Hoppscotch reports back that the file is imported and the environment shows in the list under global. However, clicking on it does not expand any keys at all and the environment does not appear to be accessible / imported at all. Any thoughts please?

I was searching for a tool to convert postman exported environment zip file to a hoppscotch importable json file.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find, so I decided to share my results:

https://github.com/iDschepe/hoppscotch-transformer
It will also try to convert used variables within other variable values.

Feel free to contribute or give any feedback!
