Description

Adds a Generate Documentation option to collections so you can create a shareable HTML page of your API docs right from the app. It also has advanced controls to filter requests by tags, choose which environments to include, and optionally add the git repo link so readers can open the collection in Bruno.

Problem

Git repo URL is always embedded. Git-backed collections embed gitCollectionUrl in every generated doc. It powers the Open in Bruno clone deeplink, but users distributing docs publicly may not want a repo URL exposed, especially a private one. No opt-out today.

Every request is always rendered. Teams publishing docs need to leave out WIP, internal-only, or unfinished requests. Today that means cleaning the collection first or leaking those endpoints.

Fix

Added a Generate Documentation modal that lets you filter by tags, pick which environments to include, and turn on a git repo link, then builds the HTML from those choices. The core generation logic (building the docs, tag filtering, environment selection, and git url handling) was moved into bruno-common so the same code can be reused by the CLI in a follow up PR.

Walkthrough

The Generate Documentation flow now supports tag-based request filtering, optional Git repository links, shared HTML generation, collection metadata, and expanded application, hook, utility, and end-to-end test coverage.

Changes

Documentation generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared collection and documentation helpers
packages/bruno-common/src/collection/index.ts, packages/bruno-common/src/api-docs/*, packages/bruno-app/src/utils/...
Shared utilities and exports support tag filtering, environment selection, collection versions, item ordering, HTML metadata, escaping, and filenames.
Git remote resolution
packages/bruno-electron/src/ipc/git.js, packages/bruno-electron/src/utils/git.js, packages/bruno-app/src/hooks/useCollectionGitRemoteUrl/...
The renderer resolves a collection Git remote through IPC. Missing remotes and failures return null.
Advanced documentation controls
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/Collections/Collection/GenerateDocumentation/Advanced/...
The UI adds collapsible request-selection controls, include/exclude tag inputs, autocomplete, validation, accessibility attributes, and Git-link selection.
Generate Documentation integration
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/Collections/Collection/GenerateDocumentation/..., tests/collection/generate-docs/..., tests/utils/page/locators.ts
The modal passes filters, environments, metadata, and Git URLs to shared HTML generation. Tests cover control state, generated output, filenames, and Git URL loading.
Environment and version presentation
packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/Collections/Collection/GenerateDocumentation/EnvironmentSelectionList/index.js, packages/bruno-app/src/components/Sidebar/Collections/Collection/GenerateDocumentation/CollectionVersionInfo/index.js
The environment section adds a database icon and no longer disables its checkboxes. Unset versions receive an unset class.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 17702

This change can expose credentials embedded in Git remote URLs when documentation is shared, creating a serious security risk; text entry can also trigger an unintended action in the filtering dialog. The PR should not merge until the credential exposure is addressed and the keyboard behavior is explicitly accepted or fixed.

Use platform-neutral fixture paths.

Replace the hardcoded /tmp/... values with paths built from os.tmpdir() and path.join(). Keep the expected mock arguments derived from the same values.

As per path instructions, “File paths must use path.join() or path.resolve() instead of hardcoded / or \\ separators.”

Stop composing Enter from reaching the modal handler.

When e.nativeEvent.isComposing is true, call e.stopPropagation() before returning. Otherwise, the modal’s document-level keydown handler can call handleConfirm() while the user confirms IME input. Do not call preventDefault(). Add a regression test for composing Enter.
