Import Bruno Collection fails - ValidationError: headers are required

[sigiswald]

I have checked the following:

• I use the newest version of bruno.
• I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

Describe the bug

Bruno v1.20.2 (and also v1.20.1) on Windows.

• Create a new Collection called "test"
• Add a single request called "test" and URL GET "http://localhost:8080/api/test"
• Save the request and export as a Bruno Collection which creates a test.json file.
• Close the collection and delete it from from the file system (to avoid naming conflicts).
• Import the test.json file as a Bruno Collection.
• Error: Import collection failed.

Exporting/importing as a Postman collection works fine.

Kind regards,

+1 similar scenario occurring for me on Ubuntu. I have a more complex collection but still see the same error that @sigiswald is seeing as well.

+1 confirmed same scenario / bug; seen both on:

• Linux Mint using Apt download; and also on
• Windows using Windows x64 Portable download

In both cases using Bruno v1.20.2 with:

• electron : 21.1.1
• chrome : 106.0.5249.103
• node : 16.16.0
• v8 : 10.6.194.17-electron.0

I've found a workaround (based on seeing the PR in #2598).

When the bug is seen, manually edit the export JSON before attempting to import again. Such that there is at least an empty array on the root.request.headers path, like:

  "root": {
    "request": {
      "headers": [],
      "auth": {
        "mode": "none"
      }
    },
    "meta": {
      "name": "test"
    }
  },

For the example scenario in this report, this workaround allowed me to import the "test.json" Bruno collection.

It also worked for me (using Bruno v1.20.2) in a more complex Bruno collection exported on Windows and imported in Linux (after applying this workaround).

Nice! That seems like it would satisfy the current .required aspect you recognized on my PR (#2598). I would imagine my PR fixes a regression but will wait for others to chime in.

Thank you @sfreeman422 and @mdxs !!! Your analysis, feedback and certainly the PR is much appreciated!
