Fresh install cannot create Collections

[Angusross111]

I have a fresh install of Bruno and I cant seem to be able to create any Collections. My system is

Static hostname: pop-os
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Operating System: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS               
Kernel: Linux 6.5.6-76060506-generic
Architecture: x86-64
Hardware Vendor: Lenovo
Hardware Model: ThinkPad P14s Gen 1

I installed bruno from the Pop!_Shop which installed version v1.5.1

When I choose my location I navigate to my Documents folder which is located at: /home/angus.ross/Documents but when after selecting the string in the Location field is /run/user/1000/doc/bc284510/Documents. Pressing create gets the error

An error occurred while creating the collection

Looks like it might be a permissions issue but I dont see any errors in the devtools console when trying to create a Collection. I was able to open the github example Collection, but I am not able to delete any Requests or Folders. I do get the following error in the console when I try to delete

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Error invoking remote method 'renderer:delete-item': Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/run/user/1000/doc/62eab525/github-rest-api-collection/Repository/Search Repos.bru'

After installing the .deb package it seems like it has the correct permissions to create and delete Collections/Requests.

Being a permission issue, maybe you can solve it using Flatseal? It's an application to manage Flatpak apps permissions (which I am guessing it's the install being offered in the Pop Shop). Try to enable this permission:

Sorry to jump in on another person's thread, but I have the same issue. I use Windows 10. New user, fresh installation, can't create folder for collection. Tried to make folder manually and just click on it, same notification- "An error occurred while creating the collection".

I also encountered this issue, fix proposed by @rsilvr worked for me.

But this effectively makes the app useless for new users installing through flatpak, there should at least be more discussion on this...

@rsilvr thanks for the hint! I ran into the exact same issue & just opened a PR to add such permission from the beginning: https://github.com/flathub/com.usebruno.Bruno/pull/9

I am closing this issue as it seems to be resolved.
