Insomnia is unable to parse larger csv responses

[eddykaya]

Expected Behavior

When fetching a csv result from an API, insomnia automatically tries to pretty the result. I want this process to not crash the app

Actual Behavior

Insomnia become unresponse ("isomnia became unresponsive, do you want to reload?") When clicking reload, nothing happens. I have to clean my /responses folder to use Insomnia again.

Reproduction Steps

1. Query API which automatically returns csv >5MB or so

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

Additional Information

The solution to delete the responses folder is just a workaround, maybe it is better to not automatically parse csv results or large ones (see https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues/5087)

I can confirm this issue

Can confirm this too, additional the parsing can not be aborted.

I can also confirm this issue on macOS. I agree with @eddykaya, a suitable fix would be to disable automatic parsing of large CSV response bodies, e.g. > 1MB to avoid unresponsiveness of the app

I also can confirm this issue. A 3.5 MB CSV file broke the app for macos. Solved that by waiting for parsing it completely
