Bug Description

🧩 Summary

When a Postman Collection v2.1 is imported into https://hoppscotch.io, the import completes successfully and all folders/requests appear in the sidebar.
However, clicking any request does not load it into the editor.

The browser console shows a Vue runtime error indicating Hoppscotch is attempting to mutate an auth property on a stringified JSON, not an object.


🔁 Steps to Reproduce

  • Export a collection from Postman using Collection v2.1
  • Open https://hoppscotch.io/
  • Import the JSON collection
  • Import completes successfully and requests appear in the sidebar
  • Click on any request

Expected Behavior

  • Clicking a request should load it into the editor (method, URL, headers, body, auth, etc.)

Actual Behavior

  • Request does not load in the editor
  • Sidebar selection changes, but editor remains empty
  • Vue runtime error appears in browser console

🧪 Console Error (Firefox)

[Vue warn]: Error in https://vuejs.org/error-reference/#runtime-6:
"TypeError: can't assign to property 'auth' on
'{"auth":{"authType":"inherit","authActive":true},
"headers":[],
"variables":[{"key":"auth","initialValue":"REDACTED","currentValue":"","secret":false}],
"description":null}': not an object"
