Sub-environment variables don't work with gRPC

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I recently discovered that the latest version of Insomnia supports environment variables; however I am unable to get this to work. When I put in an environment variable of 127.0.0.1:6565 and attempt to use this, nothing happens in the UI (there are errors in the dev console). If I directly paste 127.0.0.1:6565 in, it works as expected (old behavior). I have tried downgrading to 2020.1.0 but that doesn’t fix the issue either.

To Reproduce In the environment tab, add a new variable. Fill that variable in and make a gRPC request.

Expected behavior The request should be successful, but it is not

I misread your post. It seems that this isn’t a work around (always resolves the base). Hopefully this is not too hard of an issue to address. I’m a big fan of the recent gRPC support nonetheless!
