Insomnia: [Help] Insomnia has become unresponsive

[oliverjanik]

I'm stuck in this loop. As soon as I open Insomnia it dies on me.

All I did was hit "Send" and re response started loading a bigger (few MB) binary file. I'm assuming Insomnia is trying to load the response into to the UI and just dies doing this.

Should there be a circuit breaker for this? If response is binary or too large, snip it.

Also how do I get unstuck and break this loop ?

Hi Oliver,

You should be able to delete the large response from %APPDATA%/Insomnia/responses and restart the app.

Note, if you are on other operating systems, the folder will be different:

• %APPDATA%/Insomnia on Windows
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Insomnia or ~/.config/Insomnia on Linux
• ~/Library/Application Support/Insomnia on macOS

Thank you that worked.
