Empty value in parent variable on nested repeat block #704

Hello,

I'm using nested repeat blocks in a JSON Response template having the nested block using a parent variable {{@itemId}}.

{
	"items": [
	{{#repeat (faker 'random.number' min=1 max=5)}}
		{{setVar 'itemId' (faker 'random.uuid')}}
		{{setVar 'itemParts' (int 1 4)}}
		{
			"id": "{{@itemId}}",			
			"active": true,
			"type": "TYPE",
			"parts": [
			  {{#repeat @itemParts}}
				{
					"id": "{{faker 'random.uuid'}}",
					"quantity": {{faker 'random.number' min=1 max=4}},
					"parent": "{{@itemId}}",
				}
			  {{/repeat}}
			]
		}
	{{/repeat}}
	]
}

The problem is that the {{@itemid}} in the nested block returns an empty value :

{
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "5f0899d0-bfc5-4b3b-9532-9b3fca2bcaba",
            "active": true,
            "type": "TYPE",
            "parts": [
                {
                    "id": "f2e9354e-4877-4372-9ab1-2667e08fc28b",
                    "quantity": 1,
                    "parent": "",
                },
                {
                    "id": "f4807b63-d367-4529-a109-908126b65f86",
                    "quantity": 2,
                    "parent": "",
                },
                {
                    "id": "d4d5d884-a40a-4b4e-82d9-63060b58ee4d",
                    "quantity": 1,
                    "parent": "",
                },
                {
                    "id": "0e1ac766-b31d-469c-9e80-def95a881f53",
                    "quantity": 3,
                    "parent": "",
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Am I doing something wrong ? Or this may by an issue ?

Thanks

Hi,
I investigate a bit, it's indeed a bug with the repeat helper that always overwrite the previous data.
I will try to fix this for the next release.

Hi,

I just got the same behavior with Repeat + shitch/case.

variable2 is always null inside switch/case

(put some extra symbols to show

--------- test script:

=============== setVar variable1 == 2
{{setVar 'variable1' 2}}

=============== variable1 out repeat: variable1
variable1 outside repeat: {{variable1}}

=============== REPEAT variable1 == {{variable1}}
{{#repeat variable1}}

   =============== iteration {{@index}}:    
   variable1 inside repeat: {{variable1}} (OK)
 
   ===============  setVar 'variable2' (multiply variable1 5)
   {{setVar 'variable2' (multiply variable1 5)}}  
   
   =============== variable2: {{variable2}} (OK)
 
   {{#switch variable2}}
   ============== switch variable2: {{variable2}}
       {{#case 10}} 
       ========== variable1: {{variable1}}  variable2: {{variable1}}  (NOT OK) 
       {{/case}}
       
       {{#case 50}} 
       ========== variable1: {{variable1}}  variable2: {{variable1}}  (NOT OK)
       {{/case}}
       {{#default}} default {{/default}}
   {{/switch}}
{{/repeat}}

--------result:

=============== setVar variable1 == 2


=============== variable1 out repeat: variable1
variable1 outside repeat: 2

=============== REPEAT variable1 == 2

   =============== iteration 0:    
   variable1 inside repeat: 2 (OK)
 
   ===============  setVar 'variable2' (multiply variable1 5)
     
   
   =============== variable2: 10 (OK)
 
   ============== switch variable2: 
       ========== variable1:   variable2:   (NOT OK),

   =============== iteration 1:    
   variable1 inside repeat: 2 (OK)
 
   ===============  setVar 'variable2' (multiply variable1 5)
     
   
   =============== variable2: 10 (OK)
 
   ============== switch variable2: 
       ========== variable1:   variable2:   (NOT OK)

Thanks for reporting this should be fixed in the next release (#706).
