BRU-3480

Problem

Creating an OpenAPI spec from an existing Bruno collection (API Designer, Create API Spec) produces an empty spec regardless of collection format

Fix

Create API Spec from a collection produced an empty spec because the old traversal only read .bru files and parsed them with the yml parser. It is now replaced with a format aware reader that loads requests, environments and collection variables correctly for both bru and yml collections, so the generated spec contains every HTTP and GraphQL request.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features

  • API specification exports now include collection-level variables.
  • Collection imports support requests, environments, and collection configuration files.
  • Stored environment secrets are automatically decrypted during collection imports.

Bug Fixes

  • Export warnings appear after successful API specification creation with correct singular or plural wording.
  • Collection loading consistently updates environments and clears stale state after failures.
  • Invalid or unreadable collection files no longer block imports; error messages identify skipped files and summarize larger skipped-file lists.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The collection import flow now uses a shared reader for requests, environments, dotenv values, collection variables, and skipped files. Environment secrets use injected callbacks. The API specification form merges variables and displays import or export warnings.

Changes

API specification collection import

Layer / File(s) Summary
Environment secret decryption
packages/bruno-electron/src/utils/env-secrets.js, packages/bruno-electron/src/utils/env-secrets.spec.js
Adds a dependency-injected decryptor and tests for matching secrets, missing secrets, and empty values.
Collection API-spec reader
packages/bruno-electron/src/utils/collection-reader.js, packages/bruno-electron/src/utils/collection-reader.spec.js
Adds collection configuration loading, file walking, request and environment parsing, dotenv handling, collection-variable extraction, skipped-file reporting, and filesystem-based coverage.
Collection import wiring and export feedback
packages/bruno-electron/src/ipc/collection.js, packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/ApiSpecs/CreateApiSpec/index.js
Routes collection loading through readCollectionForApiSpec, passes secret callbacks, merges collection and environment variables, selects environments, resets failed state, and shows skipped-file and export warning toasts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9b8ad

Importing a collection can write decrypted environment secrets into the generated OpenAPI specification, potentially exposing credentials when the specification is saved or shared. Filter secret variables before export before merging.

collection-reading flow to add relativePath to the existing skipped collection
list, matching the request and environment failure paths. Preserve the console
error while ensuring the renderer receives the same user-visible skipped signal
for root parse failures.

Exclude secret variables from API spec export.

exportApiSpec writes values from URL templates as OpenAPI server-variable defaults. Decrypted environment variables also reach environmentsList, so a secret used in baseUrl can be persisted in the generated YAML. Filter variables with secret: true both when building variables and when building environmentsList.
