Failed to process ${parsedFile.fileName}: ${err.message}

Error message

Failed to process ${parsedFile.fileName}: ${err.message}

What it means

Per-file catch inside processFiles. Fires when processEnvironmentData throws for a single parsed file; re-wraps with that file's name so the user knows which file in a multi-file import failed.

Solutions

1. Identify the file named in the message and open it.
2. Resolve the inner environment validation error (see errors 60-66) in that file.
3. Re-run the import with the corrected file, or import files one at a time to isolate problems.

for (const f of parsedFiles) {
  if (!isAnyBrunoEnvironmentFormat(f.content)) {
    throw new Error(`${f.fileName} is not a Bruno environment format`);
  }
}

try {
  processFiles(parsedFiles);
} catch (err) {
  const m = err.message.match(/Failed to process (.*?): (.*)/);
  if (m) console.error(`File ${m[1]} failed: ${m[2]}`);
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: A multi-file import where one file produces errors 64, 65, or 66 inside processEnvironmentData; the loop surfaces the failing file name.

Common situations: User selects several .json environment files at once and one of them is corrupted or in the wrong format.
