Found the reason, one of variables was not defined - but it was not indicating it anywhere. Need to display an error message.

Hi @relgames, thank you for reporting this! I was able to reproduce this as well.

Indeed this is a bug, we don't warn the user at the very least the same way we do when trying to send a request with an undefined variable.

This happens both for Generate Code and the Copy as Curl options. We are hiding the errors in both cases:

@relgames I would like to encourage you to report any other issues you may find in the meantime 👍

Hi all 👋

I am interested in working on this issue as my first contribution to the project. Is this still relevant? I'm eager to help out where I can.
