[Bug] Variable uncovering returns "undefined" for nested variables

• Insomnia Version: 6.2.3
• Operating System: Linux Mint

Details

https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/pull/1274 introduces variable uncovering (helpful), but it seems that nested variable references returns {undefined}:<variable>

For example use the following environment:

{
  "foo": {
    "bar": "foobar"
  },
  "fu": {
    "baz": "{{ foo.bar  }}"
  },
  "foobar": "foobar2",
  "fubaz": "{{foobar}}"
}

• Hover over the fu.baz value ( {{ foo.bar }} ), and notice it shows {undefined}:foobar
• Hover over the fubaz value ( {{ foobar }} ), and notice it shows {root}:foobar2

Expectations:

• Hovering over the value shows {{root}}:foobar like a non-nested value does.

Other thoughts:

• Should the root reference instead say “Base Environment” to correspond to the Base Environment?

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll pick it up ASAP.

I first thought a fix could be done in the nunjucks-tags.js but that was not the case.

I’ve now added a recursive function that fetches all the nested keys, in the render.js.

I’ve created a Pull Request #1637, but it failed during the CIT AppVeyor, not sure why tho. I have no errors in my insomnia development environment and the change seems to be working.
