eval cannot access variables

I have checked the following:

This bug is:

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

Bruno version

2.0.1

Operating System

Windows 11, MacOS

Describe the bug

Bruno's eval() can't seem to evaluate existing variables. In Postman, this works:

let lHello = "world";
console.log(lHello);
eval('test={"hello":lHello}');
console.log(test);

In Bruno, it will come back with "lHello is not defined".

I simplified the code to show the issue. I was trying to convert a Postman script by dynamically changing req.body (pm.request.body.raw in Postman) but Bruno can't seem access variables from within eval().

Hi @rsuplido, i was able to reproduce this issue in developer mode but it works in safe mode, can you try switching to safe mode and confirm if it's working for you. There seem to be a problem with using variables inside eval() in dev mode. We'll look into it. Thanks!

Thanks for investigating @sreelakshmi-bruno.

It does look like it works on Safe Mode, even on v1.39.1. Will keep testing.
