Abhishek S Lal 1e25825e74 fix(collection-watcher): prevent crash when deleting collections (#7470)
* fix(collection-watcher): guard against events firing after collection deletion

When deleting an OpenAPI-synced collection, saveBrunoConfig() writes to
bruno.json which creates buffered chokidar events (80ms stabilityThreshold).
If the collection directory is removed before those events fire,
getCollectionFormat() throws "No collection configuration found" for each
.bru file in the collection.

Add fs.existsSync(collectionPath) guards in the change, unlink, and
unlinkDir handlers to bail out early when the collection root no longer exists.

* fix(workspaces): ensure collection watcher stops before deletion

Added logic to remove the collection from the watcher when deleting files, preventing chokidar from firing events on a directory that is being removed. This change enhances stability during collection deletions by ensuring the watcher is properly managed.

* refactor(workspaces): remove redundant collection watcher logic during deletion

Eliminated the logic for stopping the collection watcher before deletion, streamlining the action for removing collections from workspaces. This change simplifies the code and maintains functionality without unnecessary complexity.

* test(collection): add integration test for collection deletion functionality

Introduced a new test suite to verify the deletion of collections from the workspace overview. The test ensures that collections are properly removed from both the UI and the file system, confirming the absence of any uncaught errors during the deletion process. This addition enhances the test coverage for collection management features.

* feat(collection): implement deleteCollectionFromOverview utility function

Added a new utility function to delete a collection directly from the workspace overview page. This function encapsulates the steps required to navigate the UI, confirm deletion, and ensure the collection is removed from both the interface and the file system. Updated the corresponding test to utilize this new function, enhancing code reusability and test clarity.

* fix(collection-watcher): add guards for collection path existence and error handling

Enhanced the unlink and unlinkDir functions to check for the existence of the collection path before proceeding. Added error handling for the getCollectionFormat function to prevent crashes when the collection format cannot be retrieved. These changes improve stability and robustness during collection deletion operations.

Bruno is a new and innovative API client, aimed at revolutionizing the status quo represented by Postman and similar tools out there.

Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem. We use a plain text markup language, Bru, to save information about API requests.

You can use Git or any version control of your choice to collaborate over your API collections.

Bruno is offline-only. There are no plans to add cloud-sync to Bruno, ever. We value your data privacy and believe it should stay on your device. Read our long-term vision here
