Hello, I’m unable to export my variables in the Global environments as it encountered error when I press the “Export” button at the top right.

Does anyone experience the same in Postman V12.0.1?

Hey @docking-module-astr9 :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Postman Community :postman:

This was an issue reported and fixed in the latest version. :folded_hands:

Can you update to the latest version 12.0.4 and give this another try, please?

Hi. I have the same issue.
WHAT I DO:

Click Globals in the button of a page

I see my globals with present values (filled while running tests in runner)

Click Export, select file.

File shows names of my globals and types but value is allways empty.

Hey @luckymag :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

You need to explicitly share the values, in order for them to be exported. It’s the same with all scoped variables.

All the values are local by default (everything in the Value column) until you share/sync them (everything in the Shared Value column).

The Shared Value column might not be shown in your UI, you can display that using the menu.

Thanks for quick answere.

My problem is data i store in this value are secret and “secret” flag excludes sharing.

Mabe I could use vault to achive what I need?

I’m not sure what the end result if, that you’re trying to achieve with the data in the file?

get all responses from runner in one file
I know there is Newman on GitHub but I don’t think I can install it (corporate policy etc.)
So I thought it can be my workaround
