A thought from a design perspective: Should the concept of "Folders" be removed and should "Collections" be able to be nested? I'm not sure if that has already been discussed but it seems like that is the desired functionality as expressed in #1174 & #1310

Personally, my team would greatly benefit from being able to nest Collections to run a hierarchy of tests. So much so, that if we had that functionality, we would swap from Postman to Bruno immediately.

Hi @kyleboe,

I do not think that nesting collections is a good idea for several reasons:

  1. How should bru.setNextRequest() implement a jump between nested collection?
  2. What is the meaning of environments? Currently environments are stored at collection level. If a collection is nested there might exist environments too. To be able to run separately (standalone) environments must exist. On the other hand the values in the nested collection might be different from the values in the outer collection.
  3. Currently it is not possible to move/copy a request from one collection to another collection.

To my understanding the concept of folder exist to create hierarchical tests. Therefore I want to be able to store scripts, tests ... at folder level.

Kind Regards Thomas
