Hey @sseenivasan89

Can you supply a copy of the file that you're seeing the issue with, please? Also, what does the preview of the Runner file look like when opened?

Hey @DannyDainton

when i tried with collection runner the preview was as expected but when i uploaded the same file in monitor it showed me the above error attaching the file what i tried

DataMonitor.csv

I've been unable to reproduce this issue with that file - It will load fine in both the Runner and Monitor datafile sections.

I did see the error when I renamed the file type when selecting it in the file explorer.

Was your file originally saved as something else, like an .xls before changing it to a .csv - Just trying to think of ways that this could occur. Other non valid file types should be disabled in the explorer view when selecting them.

Hey @sseenivasan89

Were you able to reliably recreate this issue again, I've still been unable to do this. 🤔

DannyDainton commented 2 years ago

I'm going to close this for now as I've been unable to recreate the error again. If we can get some reliable steps to reproduce the issue it help us to investigate this further.
