No files provided

Error message

No files provided

What it means

Entry guard in importBrunoEnvironment. Fires before any parsing when parsedFiles is null, undefined, or an empty array — i.e. the caller passed nothing to import.

Solutions

1. Ensure at least one file is selected before invoking importBrunoEnvironment.
2. Guard upstream: check files?.length > 0 before calling readMultipleFiles.
3. Verify the file input's onChange handler actually populates the files list.

Example fix

// before
const envs = importBrunoEnvironment(parsedFiles);
// after
if (!parsedFiles?.length) {
  toast('Select at least one environment file');
  return;
}
const envs = importBrunoEnvironment(parsedFiles);

if (!parsedFiles || parsedFiles.length === 0) {
  throw new Error('Select at least one environment file');
}

function hasFiles(files) {
  return Array.isArray(files) && files.length > 0;
}

try {
  importBrunoEnvironment(parsedFiles);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message === 'No files provided') toast('Choose a file first');
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling importBrunoEnvironment([]), importBrunoEnvironment(null), or importBrunoEnvironment() directly. Upstream, this happens when readMultipleFiles receives no files or the file picker returns an empty selection that still reaches the importer.

Common situations: UI bug where the import flow proceeds despite no file selection, or programmatic use of the importer without first gathering files.
