Failure to parse hostname in after-response script

[devguydavid]

Expected Behavior

Parsing of the response succeeds

Actual Behavior

This error:

Unexpected Request Failure

The request failed due to an unhandled error:

Execute after-response script failed: Error: Error: new Url(): failed to parse hostname in url ${urlStr}

Reproduction Steps

1. Add a GET request that returns the full URL in a json response body property. For example, a call that returns this:

{
  "url": "https://google.com"
}

2. Add a PUT request that uses the full URL by referencing the Response -> Body Attribute of "url" returned by the request in step 1 as its endpoint to call.
3. Call the two endpoints in sequential order.

Is there an existing issue for this?

It looks like parse in urls.ts is being passed the raw value instead of the resolved URL:

{% response 'body', 'req_3a1b3b4368a14cd59b53656d37022415', 'b64::JC51cmw=::46b', 'never', 60 %}

Hello @devguydavid, you are seeing {% ... %} because template tags (such as your case or environment tags) are evaluated after the pre-request script step. Probably you could try insomnia.environment.set('url', url) and access it in the next request at the moment and we will take a look at it, as currently there seems no quick and elegant way to handle this.

Yes, thank you, that is a fine workaround. One of the things I love about Insomnia is not needing to use environment variables for passing data around (looking at you, Postman), but in a pinch it works!
