eval( ): Executing a JavaScript function

[sburtonctr]

Postman for Windows
Version 5.1.3
win32 10.0.14393 / x64

This issue starting happening after 4.10.7. I thought I would try to upgrade to see if it was fixed, but it appears to be broken or you have changed do not allow this any more.

Issue Report:

I load several custom JavaScript into a memory varaible before my test run. This is one of my scripts that is loaded in the Tests tab.

postman.setGlobalVariable("module:prefixedScopeVars", "clearPrefixFromScope=function(a,b,c){_.each(_.filter(_.keys(a),function(a){return a.startsWith(b)}),function(a){c(a)})},clearPrefixFromEnv=function(a){clearPrefixFromScope(environment,a,postman.clearEnvironmentVariable)},clearPrefixFromGlobal=function(a){clearPrefixFromScope(globals,a,postman.clearGlobalVariable)},anyPrefixedInScope=function(a,b){return _.some(_.keys(a),function(a){return a.startsWith(b)})},anyPrefixedInEnv=function(a){return anyPrefixedInScope(environment,a)},anyPrefixedInGlobal=function(a){return anyPrefixedInScope(globals,a)},function coalesce(){var len = arguments.length; for (var i=0; i<len; i++) {if (arguments[i] !== null && arguments[i] !== undefined) {return arguments[i];}}return null;}")

After all my scripts are loaded including this script, I execute a function to clear all my variables as such:

eval(postman.getGlobalVariable("module:prefixedScopeVars"));
clearPrefixFromGlobal("gws_");
clearPrefixFromEnv("ws_");

This generates an error in all versions above 4.10.7: Cannot convert undefined or null to object.

These two functions just remove all global and environmental variables that start with: "gws_" & "ws_".

I see that you remove the download links for 4.10.7, so I do not have a way to get back to a working version. Do you not support executing JavaScript functions from the Test tab anymore?
