Environmwnt variables disappears after closing application

[juanmamunoz918]

I have checked the following:

• 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
• annoying
• this feature was working in a previous version but is broken in the current release.

Bruno version

2.2.0

Operating System

macOS 15.1

Describe the bug

While I'm executing some requests in Bruno, I sabe some variables into environment. I can use them in many requests. The problem starts when I close the application because when I start it again, environment variables seems like reset. I mean, those values set in execution dissapears.

.bru file to reproduce the bug

No response

Screenshots/Live demo link

I cannot attach any file. But I have an environment and executions in which I save values in environment variables with bru.setEnvVar, and after closing the app, these values are gone.

Hello @juanmamunoz918,

I just started using Bruno (v2.3.0) today and ran into a similar issue on Windows 11 Enterprise (10.0.22631 Build 22631). Specifically, both my collection and global environment disappeared upon closing and re-opening Bruno. An error then prevents me from creating a new environment though.

Deleting Bruno's app data folder did solve my problem. Now both my collection and global environment are there when I close and re-open Bruno. I'm not able to recreate the initial problem which is annoying / great. My guess is something went wrong when the configuration files were initially saved with secrets.

You could try updating to the latest Bruno version and deleting your configuration directory which I believe is ~/.config/bruno on MacOS. 🤞

If you set in a script an env variable, it will show up in the environment variables, but if you close and reopen or switch environments the new variable will be gone and if you hit save it will say that there was nothing to save.

You need to edit any variable and save to preserve the variables created from scripts. This is a consistent bug for me. I've already tried deleting the AppData. This was on windows 11, Bruno 2.6.1
