VSCode extension "Oops! Something went wrong"

[benc-uk]

I have checked the following:

• [x] I have searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

This bug is:

• [ ] making Bruno unusable for me
• [ ] slowing me down but I'm able to continue working
• [x] annoying
• [ ] this feature was working in a previous version but is broken in the current release.

Bruno version

Extension 4.2.0

Operating System

Windows 11 + WSL2 + Ubuntu 24.04

Describe the bug

When opening .bru files the VS Code extension will mostly show an error screen and "Oops! Something went wrong". This happens when opening them from the dedicated Bruno view, or from the file explorer.

It is highly intermittent and sometimes the view will open or switching between file editor view and back will fix it (until you open another bru file or request)

Sometimes you get nothing but a blank view

NOTE: I am working from VSCode within WSL2

.bru file to reproduce the bug

Any .bru file will trigger this, here's a trivial example

meta {
  name: List All
  type: http
  seq: 6
}

get {
  url: http://localhost:8000/api/monitors
  body: none
  auth: inherit
}

assert {
  res.status: eq 200
  res.body: isArray
}

This likely has to do with WSL2. We will try to reproduce it on our end.

I'm having the same problem on linux but only when I make the request

Any updates?

This makes the Bruno extension unusable for anyone using VSCode with WSL, via Codespaces, SSH remote and many other scenarios.

It's not specific to WSL
