Environment Variables

This feature is useful for getting and setting environment variables through scripting.

Get Environment variables

let apiKey = tc.getVar("API_KEY");
let token = tc.getVar("token");

Set Environment variables

  // To save to active environment
  tc.setVar(varName, value);
  
  // To save to local environment
  tc.setVar(varName, value, "local");
  
  // To save to global environment
  tc.setVar(varName, value, "global");
  
  // To set collection or request level variables
  tc.setVar(varName, value, "request");
 

Collection and Request Variables

• You can set collection and request specific env variables in scripting using request scope.
• These variable values are available during the execution of the request only. The data is not saved to a file.
• To use - open collection settings or request view -> then select Pre Run Tab and use the Scripting tab

tc.setVar("name", "Thunder Client", "request");
tc.setVar("baseUrl", "http://localhost:8744", "request");
