I have collection named "Auth" with pre-request script where I define JavaScript variable "token", and some JavaScript general functions, which I want to use in my inner pre-request scripts.
Within "Auth" collection I have folder name "Tests" with own pre-request script. I expected both scripts to be merged but when I try to use "token" JavaScript variable from "Auth" collection I get an error:
ReferenceError: currentAccessToken is not defined
How to access JavaScript variables (and JavaScript functions) from collection pre-request script in inner folder pre-request script?
Postman has different variable scopes, which you would need to use, eg:
pm.globals.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
pm.globals.get("variable_key");
pm.collectionVariables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
pm.collectionVariables.get("variable_key");
pm.environment.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
pm.environment.get("variable_key");
Please check out Using variables for more details.
