Current behavior

Steps to reproduce

Open app
Click on Import/Export button
Expand "More", click "Import from Insomnia"
Select file "wrk_scratchpad.json"
Click "Import"

Environment

Production

Hoppscotch primarily has support to import collections from Insomnia, not workspaces. Can you try exporting an Insomnia collection and importing them in Insomnia?

I got around this by first converting the Insomnia workspace to a Postman collection and importing the Postman collection instead.

I used this code to convert the workspace.

After a recent Insomnia update, I couldn't export my collection in any format but workspace. That is a limitation they have introduced to local-only use cases.
