Unable to Use `vars` in `runners.endpoint`

[souchan2000]

I've run into an issue when trying to use vars in the endpoint of runners in the following script: env/local.json

{
  "endpoint": "http://localhost:3000/api"
}

env/production.json

{
  "endpoint": "https://example.com/api"
}

example.yml

desc: example
vars:
  env: 'json://env/${ENVIRONMENT}.json'
runners:
  service:
    endpoint: '{{ vars.env.endpoint }}'
steps:
  - dump: vars.env.endpoint
  - service:
      /users/me:
        get:
          test: current.res.status == 200

The results obtained from execution:

$ ENVIRONMENT=local runn run example.yml --debug

Run "dump" on "example".steps[0]
http://localhost:3000/api

Run "service" on "example".steps[1]
-----START HTTP REQUEST-----

Specifically, using '{{ vars.env.endpoint }}' directly in the endpoint of runners.service doesn't seem to work as expected.

The expected behaviour is that vars.env.endpoint is correctly expanded in service.endpoint and it becomes possible to set the endpoint dynamically based on env.

If there is a solution to this problem, or an alternative way to dynamically set the endpoint using vars, I would appreciate your advice.

Values in the vars: section cannot be used in the runners: section of the same runbook.

Variables can be used if they are in the runners: section of the runbook loaded by the include runner.

Hi @souchan2000.

From v0.113.1, runners can be defined in the middle of a step.

Sorry for the late reply, I'll try using the information you suggested. Thank you.
