File parse failed.

Error message

File parse failed.

What it means

Import-keys flow in ConnectionMenu.vue: the chosen file is read line-by-line (readline Interface) and each line is processed as a key import; on 'close', if count === 0 - not a single line was ever emitted - the app shows 'File parse failed.' and nothing is imported (count only reaches zero lines for an empty/unreadable-as-text file).

Solutions

1. Open the file in a text editor and confirm it is plain text with one key per line (UTF-8).
2. If it is empty, re-export or rebuild the key list file and retry the import.
3. Watch the Succ/Fail counters in the notification during a successful import - they update per line, confirming lines are being read.

Example fix

// before
rl.on('close', () => {
  if (count === 0) return this.$message.error('File parse failed.');
});

// after - fail fast on an empty file before starting
const stat = fs.statSync(file);
if (stat.size === 0) return this.$message.error('File is empty - nothing to import.');

const fs = require('fs');
// validate before import starts
const raw = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8');
const lines = raw.split('\n').filter((l) => l.trim().length > 0);
if (lines.length === 0) throw new Error('No importable lines in file');

const isImportableText = (raw) => raw.split('\n').some((l) => l.trim().length > 0);

rl.on('close', () => {
  if (count === 0) {
    // file-level problem: abort cleanly, show which file, do not emit refreshKeyList
    this.$message.error(`No lines parsed from ${file.path}`);
  }
});

When it happens

Trigger: Selecting an empty file (0 bytes); a file containing only a trailing newline/whitespace; accidentally picking a binary or wrong file; a file created by a failed or empty export.

Common situations: Export from another tool produced an empty file; wrong file grabbed from a downloads folder; file saved with no content due to a previous crash.
