Set variable value inside the execution block

[rtscosta]

I made a global variable named @Transactionid. It should only be assigned a value if I run the request ### approve task! When I use ###, it sets a value for it, which is fine. However, I also set values for this variable in another part of the code.

@Transactionid = {{completTask.response.body.$.data.transactionId}}

approve task

@name approveTask

PATCH http://localhost:3000/api/v1/task/{{idTask}}/approve
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{accessTokenDeTask}}

{
}

@Transactionid = {{approveTask.response.body.$.data.transactionId}} //When we reach that line, the value is overwritten because I ran this method once before.

This discussion is addressed by the new @set directive, which lets you capture response values (response.headers.* / response.body.*) into shared runtime variables and reuse them across .http files.
