Import WSDL collection failed: ${err.message}

Error message

Import WSDL collection failed: ${err.message}

What it means

Thrown by the top-level wsdlToBruno catch when any stage of the WSDL import pipeline fails. It wraps the original error's message (err.message) into 'Import WSDL collection failed: ...' and logs the full error via console.error. Stages covered: type check, WSDLParser.parse, parseWSDLCollection, transformItemsInCollection, hydrateSeqInCollection, validateSchema.

Solutions

1. Read the message suffix and stderr (console.error on line 1127) — they carry the original error and stack.
2. Isolate the stage: log wsdlData after parser.parse to confirm parsing succeeded before schema validation.
3. Validate the WSDL with a standalone SOAP/WSDL validator first.

Example fix

// before
const col = await wsdlToBruno(content);

// after
try {
  const col = await wsdlToBruno(content);
} catch (e) {
  console.error('wsdl import failure, content snippet:', content.slice(0, 200));
  throw e;
}

if (typeof wsdlContent !== 'string' || !/<wsdl:definitions|<definitions/.test(wsdlContent)) {
  throw new Error('Provide a valid WSDL string with a <definitions> root.');
}

try {
  return await wsdlToBruno(content);
} catch (e) {
  console.error('wsdl import failed; first 200 chars:', content.slice(0, 200));
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Any failure inside the pipeline: the type guard (error 131), 'No definitions' (error 130), schema validation failure (error 129), or an exception inside parseWSDLCollection/transformItemsInCollection.

Common situations: Corrupt WSDL; missing WSDL features the Bruno translator expects (e.g. no bindings or services); @usebruno/schema version mismatch producing a validation failure.
