unable to read insomnia.json about insomnia-documenter HOT 8 CLOSED

Hello! Do you see any error in the browser's console?

from insomnia-documenter.

I found this, but makes no sense:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in object at line 6 column 23 of the JSON data

I parse the insomnia.json file using python -m json.tool and it did not report any errors, and this happens when I pull a fresh export from insomnia.

Any suggestions?

from insomnia-documenter.

my insomnia file is 137kb in size, not sure if that matters or not

Does your file contain comments by any chance?

from insomnia-documenter.

So thinking about your suggestion to look for Comments, I didn't find any, I did export multiple times until I narrowed it down to a single folder and in the ones that I excluded from export was one that was causing my issues.

I found the issue, it was on a duplicate api post call I had created, it had double quotes in the JSON body.  IE:

{  
  "test1": "me",  
  "test2": "you", 
  "error": "here is my problem"", 
  "end": "end"
}

Thank you for the guidance this issue can be closed out.

That's kinda weird tbh because Insomnia should escape quotes when exporting... or not even Insomnia but the JSON serializer itself. It's also weird that json.tool thinks it's ok.

from insomnia-documenter.

the export showed

{  
  \"test1\": \"me\",  
  \"test2\": \"you\", 
  \"error\": \"here is my problem\"\", 
  \"end\": \"end\"
}

As soon as I changed it by removing the second escaped quote, your software rendered the page properly.

{  
  \"test1\": \"me\",  
  \"test2\": \"you\", 
  \"error\": \"here is my problem\", 
  \"end\": \"end\"
}
```

It is proper json output, but I guess it was just enough for the bundle.js to not be able to render properly.

I hope this issue can help others that might see or have a similar issue.

Ah that's fair enough then because Insomnia Documenter is trying to format those individually (indentation, syntax highlighting, etc.). So when it tried to parse that block, it failed because it's not valid JSON. I should probably make the error message be a little less vague.
