Insomnia: [Bug] Choose File sometimes crashes application

[phillip-mofadeng]

• Insomnia Version: v6.6.0
• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.10

Details

This problem seems to have happened after the recent update.

Everytime I click choose file, Insomnia would close/crash. Strange thing I noticed is clicking about in Help does the same thing.

Where are you clicking "choose file"? There are a few different places this could happen. A screenshot would be appreciated :)

I tried both Binary File Body as well as Multipart Form body and cannot seem to reproduce an error.

As shown in screenshot, but the problem seems to be fixed after the automatic update to 6.6.2.

[gschier]

Hmm, that's strange. Nothing changed in v6.6.2 around file selection. I have a feeling there may be something strange going on so please report back if you see it again 😄

@gschier I have the exact same problem. running insomnia version 6.6.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.3
Following actions cause app to crash:

• Post request, body type multipart, click on choose file
• Post request, body type binary file, click on choose file.
• Top menu bar, click help -> about. (all other menu items working fine)

side note: This worked a few weeks ago

Same problem here on Fedora 30, using the latest Snap version, 7.0.3.

It' doesn't always happen, but to me it's like 98% of the time.

I suspect it's something related with the GTK integration, right? Because it happens while I'm selecting the file, like browsing through the folders, before I could select the file to open. Usually, after the open file dialog opens, it crashes when I try to open or select any folder.

[AllanDaemon]

The terminal log. It crashed when I tried to change the folder location.

Still happening. I cannot Import/Export a workspace

System: Ubuntu 19.04 and Ubuntu 16.10
Version: Insomnia 7.0.5 (lastest SNAP offered by Ubuntu Software app)

When importing/exporting a workspace the next error is thrown and the program closed

Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme. This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
Failed to load /snap/insomnia/47/data-dir/icons/Yaru/16x16/status/image-missing.png: 
Unable to load image-loading module: /snap/insomnia/37/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Executing ls /snap/insomnia/[37|47|current]/gnome-platform/ returns an empty folder. So i'm guessing that the folder is not properly mounted and therefore gdk-pixbuf-2.0 cannot be found.

This can be replicated on a clean and updated Ubuntu 19.04 instalation so if you need any kind of info please ask for it.

I was trying with insomnia snap package and a was facing with this problem...
After uninstall snap package and install .deb package, this feature worked like a charm.

The bad news is that I didn't make a backup of my collection and I forgot that.. =X

Version 2020.2.2...

[Tahaan]

Exact same issue here, same errors.

I was about to try the DEB package but fortunately saw renatonolo's comment above.

Same problem for me, it happens everytime I try to browse for a file for a multipart body, and when I try to export my workspace.
