Malformed variable URL when using with Monitor

🌱 Just Getting Started

Hey, I have working tests when running via Collection Runner but when I created Monitor for my TestSet where URL and other parameters are set as global variables it gets malformed…

When I run the code with variables in the Monitor
{{openWeatherURL}}?q={{cityName}}&appid={{openWeatherAPIKey}}

There is an error:

but when I try to run the code without any variables
api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=prague&appid=304656eaa6952374cdd57a2b6100659b

hard-coded to the URL it passes the test

Any idea how to fix it?

Thank you!

I don’t believe that the monitor would know what those global parameters are, have you tried these in a different scope?

I haven’t …

Here is the full console output:

It also gets malformed when I right-click in Postman to {{openWeatherURL}} variable and click to EncodeURIComponent… Any idea of how to change encoding settings for that Component? :slight_smile:

If you have these as global variables the monitor won’t know what these are and won’t know what to resolve those values as.

You need to either place them in the Collection as CollectionVariables or add them to an environment and select that when you create the monitor.
