Solved: Can't open spec - Screen goes blank (bug) - Page 2

Hello,

I've spent a couple of hours working on a spec when it "crashed" for lack of a better word. Every time I try to open the spec, it flickers briefly and then the screen goes blank. Other specs open without problem, it's just this one that won't open.

Another user in my company can't open it from his computer either. Same issue for that particular spec.

Update

spec.txt

I'm able to recreate the crash, and I guess this will happen for anyone else who tries it (?). Take the attached spec, which works without any problems. Under this section:

security:

- APIKey: []

Start another entry in the array with just the character - and the screen will go blank. This happens every time.

We have tracked down the issue to a bug in the spec editor, where a malformed security entry (which is the case when you start typing the entry) is not handled gracefully.

As a temporary workaround type out the entry, in its entirety, in an external text editor, then copy and paste the entry into the spec editor. Be cautious of editing the security properties directly in the editor moving forward.

A proper fix will be available in a future release.
