Binary response data in tests and post-response

[koliyo]

I have checked the following:

• I use the newest version of bruno.
• I've searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

Describe the bug

I see other issues referencing binary data in the bruno app, eg showing image in preview window, and downloading the response to file. But I am having issue with using binary data using bruno-cli in the response object. I have res.body which is of string type, and contains lots of UTF-8 Replacement Character instances.

Am I missing something, or is there no way of getting the raw binary data from the response in post-response or tests sections?

.bru file to reproduce the bug

No response

this is using the cli runner

It would be preferable if the cli and electron app use the same basic request processing. Right now there seem to be two implementations with different behavior.

 // usebruno/bruno/packages/bruno-electron/src/ipc/network/prepare-request.js
  let axiosRequest = {
    mode: request.body.mode,
    method: request.method,
    url,
    headers,
    pathParams: request?.params?.filter((param) => param.type === 'path'),
    responseType: 'arraybuffer'
  };

vs

  // usebruno/bruno/packages/bruno-cli/src/runner/prepare-request.js
  let axiosRequest = {
    method: request.method,
    url: request.url,
    headers: headers,
    pathParams: request?.params?.filter((param) => param.type === 'path')
  };

specifically the difference with responseType: 'arraybuffer'

Hey @koliyo,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

We’ve identified an inconsistency between the app and CLI.
We're working on it.
