Handle different Postman Environment scopes

[ElSnoMan]

Overview

There are 3 Variable Scopes in Postman:

• Global - accessible by the entire workspace
• Environment - accessible only when the environment is active
• Collection - accessible only by items in the collection

Global and Environment Variables

Exporting a collection does not include any variables at the Global or Environment scope

• However, they can export Environments as JSON files.
• How should we handle this?

Collection Scope

We already parse and handle this! This is the ideal approach for using our tool.

ChainMap

The config order:

1. Collection
2. Environment
3. Globals

• If the variable has enabled set to True or None, use it
• If the variable has enabled set to False, ignore it
