some requests end up loading indefinitely

[0tii]

Summary

Some requests can not be loaded and will forever stay in this state:

This is seemingly affecting only the requests that have post-request scripts, as all my requests load but the login one which has a post request script.

Details

Bruno Version: 5.0.1
VSCode Version: 1.118.1

Caution

This is also affecting the Bruno desktop application! The request in question here does NOT show up in the Desktop app of Bruno at all!

File Content

Bruno file content of the request in question:

meta {
  name: login
  type: http
  seq: 1
}

post {
  url: {{BACKEND_URL}}/auth/login
  body: json
  auth: none
}

body:json {
  {
    "email":"*******",
    "password": "*******",
    "rememberMe": true
  }
}

vars:pre-request {
  BACKEND_URL: *********
}

script:post-response {
  const body = typeof res.body === "string" ? JSON.parse(res.body) : res.body;
    const token = body?.accessToken;
    const rToken = body?.refreshToken;
  
    if (!token || !rToken) {
      throw new Error("No accessToken in response body");
    }
  
    bru.setVar("ACCESS_TOKEN", token);
    bru.setEnvVar("ACCESS_TOKEN", token);
    bru.setVar("REFRESH_TOKEN", rToken);
    bru.setEnvVar("REFRESH_TOKEN", rToken);
}

I found that the file that did not work for me had a ZWSP file ending (zero width space).

bruno-vscode/src/extension/editors/dirty-state-manager.ts

Line 104 in 0f32de8

// We append a zero-width space at the end of the document

Once I removed the ZWSP from the previously working yml file it loaded.
