Issue when referencing request by @name in multiple files

[Nick-Palacio]

Hello,

I am seeing an issue where if I try to reference the same request by name in multiple files, whatever file is run after the first one fails to reference that request with an error ref {myNamedRequest} not found.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In a folder create the following files:
   • ./setupFile.http

     # @name json
     GET https://postman-echo.com/get
     

   • ./setupFile2.http

      # @import ./setupFile.http
      
      # @name json2
      # @ref json
      GET https://postman-echo.com/get
     

   • ./test.http

      # @import ./setupFile.http
      # @import ./setupFile2.http
      
      # @ref json
      # @ref json2
      POST https://postman-echo.com/post
      {{json.url}}
     

2. From this folder run httpyac send ./*.http --all
3. See test2.http fail with message ref json not found

My use case here is that I have separate HTTP files that do some setup for a suite of integration tests, one that gets an access token and one that creates some test data for the test. Both need to set variables that can be used by the other test files so I was trying to add a @ref metadata to both setup requests in my test files which led me to this issue.

@Nick-Palacio I could not reproduce it currently. I have used the following files

./name.http

# @name json
GET https://postman-echo.com/get

./test.http and ./test2.http

# @import ./name.http
# @ref json
POST https://postman-echo.com/post
{{json.url}}

All requests were executed successfully using httpyac send **/*.http --all --output short. As soon as I remove the
# @import I get an error that ref json was not found. Can this be your problem? But error occurs already at the 1st request and not as described at the 2nd request.

Apologies @AnWeber, I've updated the steps to reproduce above with the correct setup to trigger this issue. Let me know if you are able to reproduce now.

Yes, thank you. So it makes sense and I can reproduce it. The cause was a missing mapping that the file was also imported in ./test.http. I have added this. I noticed another error in the log output that I want to check to see if I can fix that right away as well. And would then release it soon.

fixed with v6.6.3
