Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/1903

I am building services in cloud-run that require tokens to invoke. The recommended way to fetch a token is via a cli command. https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/application-default/print-access-token

gcloud auth application-default print-access-token

curl -H "X-Goog-User-Project: your-project" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token)" foo.googleapis.com

How would I accomplish this in hoppscotch? It doesn't appear I can kick off a sub-process in the pre-request script.

Hi @rmchale, as of now there's only support for JavaScript in the pre-request script - no support to shell commands.
