[Question] Env var precedence

[kobenguyent]

So I have a postman collection which has env vars set at collection, for instance email is 123@hello.com, it is called Variables when opening the Collection panel

Now when I choose an Environment from the Environment list, this Environment is also set the email is 345@hello.com.

When calling a request which invoking this email

• on Postman: it is 345@hello.com
• on Restfox: it is 123@hello.com

And the question is, what shall be the higher precedence

Restfox has a defined order:
Workspace (email: test@test.com) -> Folder (email: test2@test.com) -> Sub Folder (email: test3@test.com) -> Resolved Request Env (email: test3@test.com)

Restfox resolves environment variables from top to bottom. So you can use a workspace env var inside a folder env var.

Workspace env:

test: 1

Folder env:

my_var: {{ test }}

Resolved Request Env:

my_var: 1

Postman's behavior seems incorrect, as immediate parent should take precedence.

I'll explain in code

let a = 10 // workspace env
{ // folder env
    a = 20
    { // sub folder env
        a = 30
        {
            console.log(a) // a should be 30 and not 10
        }
    }
}
