Cannot render URL in prerequest script
Expected Behavior
I want to migrate a prerequest script from Postman. In one of its steps, it obtains a rendered URL with variables substituted.
const url = pm.request.url
console.log(`url = ${url}`)
const renderedUrl = pm.variables.replaceIn(pm.request.url)
console.log(`renderedUrl = ${renderedUrl}`)
Example output:
url = https://{{host}}/{{path}}?queryParam={{queryParam}}
renderedUrl = https://postman-echo.com/get?queryParam=foo
I try to achieve the same with Insomnia via:
const url = insomnia.request.url
console.log(`url = ${url}`)
const renderedUrl = insomnia.variables.replaceIn(insomnia.request.url)
console.log(`renderedUrl = ${renderedUrl}`)
Actual Behavior
I get:
* Error from Pre-request or after-response script:
* template2.split is not a function;
* Stack: TypeError: template2.split is not a function

I assume it's because replaceIn requires a string. What is more, the URL that is obtained from insomnia.request.url doesn't contain query params:
url = https://{{_.host}}/{{_.path}}
