    Hi KarelHusa,

     

    I just had another idea which I think better suits what I want. I stopped using environment variables and simply replaced in the .xml file every occasion of the endpoint address to be what I have 99% of the time, which is http://IP/some/path. So now I only have to edit the 1% which is under http:/IP/ which is absolutely ok as there are only a handfull of requests that need this. 

    However, thank you very much for taking the time to think about it! Much appreciate it!

LennSar ,

in the Environment configuration the API endpoints are configured per API. When creating a functional test (REST request), you choose an API and your request uses the endpoint from environment configuration.

 

If you have single API, you can configure a single endpoint. If you add (e.g. by cloning) another API, you an define a second endpoint in Environment configuration (which you can use in your functional tests).

Maybe the following picture illustrates this.

 

 

Best regards,

Karel
