Expected Behavior

When exporting a collection in Insomnia V5 format, the exported file should be successfully imported into another instance of Insomnia 11.0.0 without errors, and the collection, including all folders, should be restored correctly.

Actual Behavior

When exporting the collection in Insomnia V5 format (YAML), an error "No importers found for file" is shown when attempting to import the file. Additionally, when exporting as HAR format, none of the folders are imported.

So you introduce a new V5 format for exports but forgot to update the import? Do you even have some sort of QA?

Mar 24 '25 10:03 DanielH1976

I'm encountering the same issue. I can import an older backup. But cannot import the newer V5.

Same here.

Same here ☹ Any alternative methods to load the data are welcome 😸

Mar 28 '25 10:03 sotosoul

@sotosoul If you have access to a installation file of a previous version (f.ex 10.2), you can reinstall Insomnia and the export/import should work

Mar 28 '25 10:03 Amund93

Same here Export scratchpad collection - login - import and see "No importers found for file"

HAR file export/import fine, but not included folders/env/etc, only req

Insomnia Export

=====================

* App Version: [Insert Version]

* Export Format: insomnia.v5.yaml

#...

Apr 01 '25 06:04 pinkycollie

Fixed in v11.0.2-beta.0

Apr 01 '25 08:04 jeremyhalin

App version : v11.0.2-beta.0

Export Format: insomnia.v5.yaml

I still get the same error. I'm using v11.0.2-beta.0 on Ubuntu for both the system I'm importing to and from

Apr 01 '25 11:04 Mansafreo

Exporter is also 11.0.2

Apr 08 '25 12:04 wpp-octavian-sulic

Any fixes? I just exported all my insomnia collections and formatted my HD.

Yes, now I am blocked on my work because I cant import the files back (11.0.2), and there is no other way to export them on previous version since the HD is all gone.

Sit and cry? Or maybe I can find any volunteer to manually insert back more than 200 endpoints?

Apr 09 '25 12:04 danielbonilha

I'm also using Insomnia version 11.0.2, and I'm experiencing the same issue as the others. When I try to import the exported YAML file, an error occurs.

Do you know when this might be fixed?

I just recently updated to 11.1.0 Beta and the imports are now working

Perhaps try out that version

Installing 11.1.0 Beta worked for me: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/releases/tag/core%4011.1.0-beta.1 After the imports, I installed the newest version and all set.
