Local Variable

Local variables in PostQode offer a flexible and isolated way to manage the data specific to the test. By utilizing pq.variables.set and pq.variables.get in scripts or pre-request scripts within hooks, you can effectively handle the test case initialization and cleanup, ensuring smooth and independent test execution.

A local variable is confined to a single test case. This ensures that variables defined in one test case do not interfere with the others, which promotes test isolation.

Creating Local Variables​

"Local Variables" can be created in scripts or pre-request scripts pq.variables.set("variableName", value);

Fetching Local Variables​

To retrieve the value of a local variable, use the pq.variables.get("variableName"); method.

Using Local Variables in Hooks​

Local variables can also be created and managed within the hooks using pq.variables.set in scripts or pre-request scripts. This allows you to initialize, modify, or clean up the local variables before and after each test case.
