Environments & variables

• Platform Availability: Windows App · VS Code Extension (shared shell)
• Overview: Environments hold Variables and Secrets that resolve as {{name}} in URLs, headers, bodies, and scripts. Switch environments from the top bar without editing requests.

How It Works (Windows App)

1. Open the environment switcher in the top bar.
2. Choose an environment (for example httpbingo from the Starter Guide).
3. Click manage / open Environments to edit Variables vs Secrets tabs.
4. Import or export environment files as needed.

How It Works (VS Code Extension)

1. Same switcher and Environments page inside the Signoff Studio webview.
2. Secrets stay local; do not commit secret values — they are stripped from workspace files intended for Git.

Code / Configuration Examples

{
  "name": "httpbingo",
  "variables": [
    { "key": "baseUrl", "value": "https://httpbingo.org" },
    { "key": "token", "value": "", "secret": true }
  ]
}

In a request URL:

{{baseUrl}}/bearer

In a header:

Authorization: Bearer {{token}}

In a script:

const base = qa.variables.get("baseUrl");
qa.log(base);

Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips

• If Send shows literal {{baseUrl}}, no active environment (or missing key).
• Prefer Secrets tab for tokens and passwords.
• Starter env file: signoff-studio-starter.httpbingo.signoff.env.json
