  1. Great post Amod. I was able to utilize your code examples and make this work. However, I tried running a test from the Collection Runner, that reads a .csv file that has the data, and in those instances, it’s returning just the query param variable name {{queryParam}} nor the value. Do you have a suggestion on how this may work in the instance of running a test using the Collection Runner and csv file with query parameters?
