I have checked the following:

This bug is:

• making Bruno unusable for me
• slowing me down but I'm able to continue working
• annoying

Describe the bug

I'm trying to migrate to the new OAuth2 handling introduced in Bruno version 2. So far, so good.

Facing a problem though with trying to reference the access token in pre-request vars or script using bru.getVar

It seems like even though the variable is being recognised as set, it cannot be referenced due to checks here

bruno/packages/bruno-js/src/bru.js

Lines 105 to 129 in 17a63d5

	setVar(key, value) {
	if (!key) {
	throw new Error('Creating a variable without specifying a name is not allowed.');
	}
	if (variableNameRegex.test(key) === false) {
	throw new Error(
	`Variable name: "${key}" contains invalid characters!` +
	' Names must only contain alpha-numeric characters, "-", "_", "."'
	);
	}
	this.runtimeVariables[key] = value;
	}
	getVar(key) {
	if (variableNameRegex.test(key) === false) {
	throw new Error(
	`Variable name: "${key}" contains invalid characters!` +
	' Names must only contain alpha-numeric characters, "-", "_", "."'
	);
	}
	return this._interpolate(this.runtimeVariables[key]);
	}

that validate variable name through Regex.

Happens both when I set the var in pre-Request through GUI to alias it or try referencing directly through bru.getVar('$oauth2.credentials.access_token')

Is there any other way to access the fetched token from the collection and/or request using getVar methods?

This is a separate api you can access the token using

bru.getOauth2CredentialVar('$oauth2.<Token ID>.access_token')

We will update the documentation to reflect the same
