Description

Enhance the Bruno HTML test report with multiple performance and user experience improvements: CDN optimization via resource hints, automatic dark mode support, lazy-loading iframes, scrollable content containers, and clipboard copy functionality. Remove unnecessary Base64 encoding for cleaner data injection.

Problem

  • Memory Crashes & File Size: Reports around ~150MB fail in Chromium with Error Code 5 due to decodeBase64 memory constraints. Switching from Base64 to plain JSON reduces the overall report file size and prevents the browser from crashing.
  • UI Readability: Request and response bodies lacked internal scrolling, causing the page to stretch indefinitely.

Fix

template.ts:

  • Add CSS color-scheme: light dark; for automatic OS-level dark mode support
  • Add resource hints for CDN optimization: preconnect to unpkg.com, dns-prefetch
  • Add lazy loading (loading="lazy") to REQUEST and RESPONSE BODY iframes
  • Add scrollable container divs (max-height: 350px; overflow-y: auto;) around iframe/pre content in REQUEST and RESPONSE BODY sections
  • Add copy-to-clipboard buttons (with Material Design Icons) for REQUEST and RESPONSE BODY sections
  • Implement full copyToClipboard(data) function with:
    • String/JSON serialization handling
    • Clipboard API integration
    • Naive UI message feedback on success
    • Console fallback for error cases
  • Export copyToClipboard method in x-result component return object
  • Remove decodeBase64() function entirely
  • Change data injection from JSON.parse(decodeBase64('${resutsJsonString}')) to direct const rawResults = ${resutsJsonString};

generate-report.ts:

  • Remove unused encodeBase64 import from utils
  • Pass raw JSON string directly: htmlTemplateString(JSON.stringify({...}))
  • Instead of: htmlTemplateString(encodeBase64(JSON.stringify({...})))

template.spec.ts:

  • Update readEmbeddedIterations() helper to extract raw JSON via regex
  • Change from Base64 extraction to direct JSON extraction: html.match(/const rawResults = ([^;]+);/)
  • Update error message to reflect JSON payload instead of Base64

Benefits:

  • Faster page load (eliminates decode overhead, CDN resource hints, automatic dark mode without JS)
  • Better UX (copy to clipboard, scrollable content, automatic dark mode respects OS preference)
  • Lazy-loaded iframes reduce initial render time
  • Cleaner, more maintainable code
  • JSON payload visible and debuggable in HTML source

Walkthrough

The HTML report now embeds escaped raw JSON instead of base64 data. Request and response body cards include copy controls and scrollable containers. The template adds message-provider wiring, network hints, and light-dark color support.

Changes

HTML report updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Raw report payload pipeline
packages/bruno-common/src/runner/reports/html/generate-report.ts, packages/bruno-common/src/runner/reports/html/template.ts, packages/bruno-common/src/runner/reports/html/template.spec.ts
Report generation and parsing now use embedded raw JSON. Base64 encoding and decoding were removed. Inline JSON escapes script-sensitive characters.
Report body interactions
packages/bruno-common/src/runner/reports/html/template.ts
Request and response bodies now have copy buttons and scrollable bordered containers. The copy handler uses the Clipboard API when available and a textarea fallback otherwise. Success and error messages use the useMessage instance. The template wraps the app in n-message-provider and adds unpkg.com connection hints and light-dark color support.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this HTML report change because it is limited to report payload handling and browser presentation UX.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to afb1d

HTML reports gain lighter payloads and body interactions, but theme presentation, long body layout, and copy behavior can degrade in some browsers. These are bounded UX issues and should be addressed or accepted before release.

🟡 Changes recommended

Inline JSON embedding introduces concrete script-termination/injection and parsing fragility risks, and the new clipboard UX needs a reliable file:// fallback to work as intended.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR updates Bruno’s HTML test report generation to improve performance and UX (resource hints, dark-mode support, lazy iframes, scrollable body sections, and copy-to-clipboard), while also changing the embedded results payload from Base64-decoded JSON to inline JSON.

Changes:

  • Replace Base64 embedding/decoding of runner results with direct JSON injection into the HTML template.
  • Add UX enhancements to request/response body rendering (scroll containers, lazy-loaded iframes, copy button).
  • Update report generation and unit tests to reflect the new payload embedding approach.

  • The iframe is wrapped in a container with max-height: 350px, but the iframe itself is hard-coded to height: 400px, which guarantees an always-on scrollbar and defeats the intended sizing.

In `@packages/bruno-common/src/runner/reports/html/template.spec.ts`:
- Line 6: Update the rawResults extraction in the HTML report test to match the
assignment terminator after the complete JSON payload rather than stopping at
semicolons inside string values. Add a fixture whose response body contains a
semicolon and verify the extracted payload still parses successfully.

In `@packages/bruno-common/src/runner/reports/html/template.ts`:
- Line 491: Update the report template interpolation near rawResults so
serialized report data cannot terminate the inline script: escape less-than
characters as \u003c before embedding, or use a non-executable data element and
parse it. Add a regression test covering a response body or header containing a
script-closing payload.
- Around line 812-816: Update the clipboard success feedback around the naive
message branch to use a supported Naive UI message API, such as a configured
NMessageProvider with useMessage() or the supported discrete API, instead of
relying on window.naive.message; preserve a visible success notification when
copying succeeds.
- Around line 811-819: Update copyToClipboard around
navigator.clipboard.writeText to support standalone reports without Clipboard
API access by adding a compatible fallback write path, and use the existing
success notification flow when it succeeds. When both the primary and fallback
writes fail, surface failure feedback through the available window.naive message
mechanism while retaining console logging as appropriate.

Bind the root color-scheme to darkMode.

When darkMode is false, Naive UI uses its light theme, but :root still advertises light dark. On a dark system, the browser may keep native controls and scrollbars dark. Set the root color-scheme to dark or light when darkMode changes.

Add horizontal scrolling for long body lines.

overflow-y: auto does not handle long unbroken lines in pre elements. Minified JSON or token-heavy content can extend beyond the card. Add overflow-x: auto or use overflow: auto on both containers.
