Saved requests in collection are not appearing in the UI

[Hazz223]

I have checked the following:

• [X] I use the newest version of bruno.
• [X] I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

Describe the bug

As of version 1.33.0, creating a new request in a collection will save it to the directory and display it in the UI. When reopening Bruno, the request is no longer there. I can see the .bru file in the directory. Closing and reopening the collection doesn't work. However, creating a new request with the same name as the previous one, doesn't work due to it saying the name has already been taken.

Any one else seen this issue?

I'm using a Macbook Pro 2019, with an intel processor.

I’m experiencing the same issue, and additionally, it also occurs with the saved environments. Could you provide further guidance or support on this?

.bru file to reproduce the bug

Download Reports.bru

In this example, the requests for 'Search Items' and 'Download Reports' have been omitted.

i have the same issue. requests are disappearing, sometimes also collections. to get the requests back, i have to close the collections and reload them. very unstable and nearly unusable, had lots of hassle with it. i itried it with downgrading, but it's the same there. since al longer time. i am running ubuntu 24.04 with gnome. are there people without that problem? is bruno still in development? is there a more stable fork?

Same issue here. The collection is still in the list after re-opening bruno (1.33), but all requests have disspeared. If I try to open the collection manually I get an error and the console log shows:

OK, it seems there were two problems:

1. the collection had a ":" in the name field set in bruno.json, that's why trying to open it resulted in the validation error above. I had no issues creating the collection with that name before, and I'm not really sure why such a common character is not allowed in the name. And if it really is an issue the creation dialog should not allow it.
2. now that I manually renamed it, I can get around the bug by closing the collection and re-opening it. If I restart bruno, there will again be zero requests in the collection until I close and re-open it again.

Hey @yannleretaille,

Thanks for reporting this bug. There is a high chance that your .bru file is corrupted, as you mentioned. However, for other requests, it must be displayed in the UI. If possible, please attach a .zip file of the lookalike collection that has this bug, or provide us with a solid set of steps to reproduce it.

when my bru file(s) are corrupt why should they load sometiimes but most of the time not, but when i close the collection and reopen? i can't send my collections, they contain private data. maybe someone else could.

same issue here! I think this happend due to syncing issues after using a different code editor like vscode or cursor. I could send you the specific get request file, however I cannot send the whole collection.

Found this error in Bruno when I copy pasted my code into Bruno. Basically shouldn't be using a "when" condition within the bruno file structure.

I have the same issue, but re-opening the collection makes everything reappear. PS: just got V 1.33.1 , my issue was resolved in this. PPS: whoops, it did not.
