Error in environment ${index + 1} from ${fileName}: ${err.me

Error message

Error in environment ${index + 1} from ${fileName}: ${err.message}

What it means

Wrapping error from processEnvironmentData for the new single-file format (data.info.type === 'bruno-environment' with a data.environments array). It re-throws any validation failure from validateBrunoEnvironment for environment at position index+1, annotating the source fileName.

Solutions

1. Read the suffix of the message after the colon — it is the inner validateBrunoEnvironment error (errors 60-63) and names the real defect.
2. Fix the indicated environment (by 1-based position) in the source file.
3. Re-import after correcting that single environment.

if (data?.info?.type === 'bruno-environment' && Array.isArray(data.environments)) {
  data.environments.forEach((env, i) => {
    if (!isBrunoEnvironment(env)) throw new Error(`Environment ${i+1} invalid`);
  });
}

function isNewBrunoEnvironmentFile(data) {
  return data?.info?.type === 'bruno-environment' && Array.isArray(data.environments);
}

try {
  processEnvironmentData(data, fileName);
} catch (err) {
  const m = err.message.match(/Error in environment (\d+) from .*?: (.*)/);
  if (m) console.error(`Fix environment #${m[1]}: ${m[2]}`);
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Importing a multi-environment Bruno file where the Nth entry in data.environments fails validation (errors 60-63); the wrapper preserves the inner message but adds 1-based position and file context.

Common situations: Bulk import of a file with several environments where one is malformed; the user only sees this wrapper and must look at the trailing inner message for the real cause.
