Hi,

anyone familiar with the IntelliJ Http Client?
The .http file is right besides my classes, but I want to store the example payload someplace else in the project.

Is there some way to make the path relative to the project root?
Currently I have to do the following workaround...

POST <http://localhost:8080/csv/parsemanually>
Content-Type: text/csv
< ../../../../../../../../../data/example_35263313.csv
###

... which isn't nice 😄

Thanks!

maybe just move .http file closer to sample data? %)

I don’t think that they provide variables, such as project path. But it actually would be very helpful.
Also, you can use {{placeholders}} to pass path when you run script
It will require settings this variable on run configuration creation

Moving the file / payload is also only a workaround, I think I even prefer the .. workaround.
Mhm, maybe I can use the placeholder inside the filepath and create the rest-client.env.json with gradle.

I'll try it out 🙂

It seems variables don't work inside the file path. Too bad 😕

ahh, yeah, really sad. Maybe make sense to create an issue on intellij tracker, I would vote for it

Will do and post the link here
