VS Code Extension keeps crashing

[Bruno-Muller]

I have checked the following:

• I have searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

This bug is:

• making Bruno unusable for me
• slowing me down but I'm able to continue working
• annoying
• this feature was working in a previous version but is broken in the current release.

Bruno version

4.5.0 (VS Code Extension)

Operating System

Windows 11

Describe the bug

The VS Code extension is unusable, it keeps crashing every time I try to use it.
It does not depend on the collection or .bru file.
It does not even work with brand new API requests.
It crashes when I just have it opened and doing nothing in it.

The error is simply "Oops! something went wrong"

The extension cannot save .bru files when I try to edit my API requests.
Click on the floppy disk shows a popup "Failed to save request".

I was fortunate enough one time to see a proper error message popup.
(I only have a partial hand copy of the message and I cannot reproduce the error popup at will, or I don't know how to reproduce the error popup)
"Unable to write file FileSystemError EINVAL invalid argument mkdir C:\file\c:" .... ( I do not have the end)

It seems to me that the path is bad because of the Windows drive letter appearing twice C:\file\c:\users or something like that. I suspect you have a mix of Windows vs Linux path somewhere.

.bru file to reproduce the bug

No response

Hey @Bruno-Muller !

We are currently revamping our vscode extensions that should in all likelyhood fix the issue.
A new release has been planned for next week.

In the meantime, it would be great if you could test the latest version by manually installing the VSIX from:
