Concat ENV variables on the ENV Page

My Env includes:
DOMAIN: example.com
PORT: 8008
BASE_API: info/api

How do I create persist an concatenated variable in the ENV table, e.g.
https://$DOMAIN:$PORT/$BASE_API/
(curly braces and

I can do concatenation in pre-request-script, e.g. pm.environment.set(“FULL_PATH”, https://$DOMAIN… )
but doing so the script-base-variable doesn’t show the resolved value to the variable but just e.g. {{FULL_PATH}}user-login/

is there a way to fix this?

Hi @chapman-cheng, Welcome to the community!

As per your use case you can try using variables like below.

https://{{host}}:{{port}}/{{base_api}}/{{relative_api}}

Then, host, port, base_api, relative_api can be set in environment variables.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Hi @chapman-cheng,

To add on to what @pranavdavar said, you can actually use variables inside of other variables! In addition to variables for URL parts like host, port, and path, you can have another variable named url with the value https://{{host}}:{{port}}/{{path}} Then in your request, you can use {{url}}, and it will resolve correctly.

To accomplish this in a script, you can use the pm.variables.replaceIn method.

Example:

const url = pm.variables.replaceIn('https://{{host}}:{{port}}/{{path}}');
console.log(url);

Console output:
