ReferenceError when setting a Global variable in Postman

Question

I get an error when trying to extract a value from a JSON response body in Postman.

ReferenceError: teste is not defined

This is what I have tried:

  var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
  pm.globals.set("access_token",jsonData.access_token)

  ** pm.globals.set("x-teste-msg-sign",jsonData.x-teste-msg-sign)

It's more than likely to be this, judging by the way you're extracting the access_token

  pm.globals.set("x-teste-msg-sign", jsonData["x-teste-msg-sign"])

As the key contains the - character, you would need to use bracket notion rather than dot notion to access the value.

Here's an example:

let jsonData = {
  "x-teste-msg-sign": 12345
}

console.log(jsonData.x-teste-msg-sign) // This would cause a script error
console.log(jsonData["x-teste-msg-sign"]) // This would set the value to the variable

It's a common problem for people accessing different part of a JSON response. Could you accept this as the answer please 😁
