Collection/Project imports change request Id, breaking request-chaining

[grangerg]

Expected Behavior

This is a copy of the original bug that came over with the Kong code: Kong/insomnia#5942
It starts out talking about "tags", but in the comments, things change to talking about request-chaning. There's a chance it's fixed in this PR: Kong/insomnia#6521

There's a comment that implies this got fixed over in Kong/insomnia#5983 but the bug still exists in Insomnium 0.2.3-a: https://github.com/ArchGPT/insomnium/releases/tag/core%400.2.3-a .

---

Import of a collection/project exported in v4 Json or Yaml (from Insomnia or Insomnium) will retain the exported request Ids, like it does all of the other Ids, so request chaining works.

Actual Behavior

The requests in each collection each get a newly generated request Id. Since the request-chaining setups reference the original Id (from the Json/Yaml export file), all of that functionality breaks.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a collection with 2 requests, one of which uses request-chaining to pull response data from the other request.
2. Export it.
3. Import it into a new Project.
4. Notice that the request-chaining doesn't work because the request-reference is incorrect.

Is there an existing issue for this?

hi Granger; good catch!; I'm releasing a major release soon (which will make everything file-system-centric) and I will include the fix in the new version

[francbohuslav]

Perfect. This is most important issue for everyone who wants own synchonizer/exporter. Preserving original IDs during import (or other solution) causes that exported file will be same as imported. Current behaviour duplicates workspace or requests (depend of import type) so it is useless.

@archywillhe Any ETA for this new major release ?

[archywillhe]

@Totalus Will be somewhere in feb; sorry for the delay - there're more things to fix than expected (and then suddenly I got too hectic with my other work in the recent months)

Hi!
Any new ETA for this fix? I'm not rushing, but rather asking for info. Thanks :)
