Signoff Studio Docs

Troubleshooting

  • Platform Availability: Windows App · VS Code Extension
  • Overview: Fix the most common Send, Import, environment, Runner, host, and connection failures.

Windows - Diagnostic logs

Cannot resolve {{variables}}

  1. Confirm an environment is selected in the top switcher.
  2. Open Environments and verify the key exists (Variables vs Secrets).
  3. Re-send after switching env — Runner also needs the same selection.

Import failed / cURL error

cURL error

  • Validate quotes and line continuations in pasted cURL.
  • For Postman/Bruno dumps, wait for the completion dialog — large imports are async.
  • Prefer Signoff native format for round-trips.

Send / network failures

  • Readable errors must include the endpoint URL (never a bare Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'status')).
  • Check Proxy mode (Windows Settings) and corporate TLS inspection certificates.
  • Toggle SSL verification only for local labs — keep it on for real environments.

Runner / monitors

  • Schedules fire only while the app or VS Code webview is open.
  • For always-on monitors, prefer the Windows Store app.
  • PDF reports need Chromium or SIGNOFF_CHROME_PATH.

VS Code blank webview

  1. Run Developer: Reload Window.
  2. Reinstall / update the extension.
  3. Confirm qasignoff.open from the Command Palette.
  4. Use Restore Response Panel if only the response split is missing.

Database connection errors

  • Verify driver, host, port, TLS, and vault password.
  • Check driver overlay status/update if a driver pack drifted after upgrade.
  • Start with the Sample catalog to confirm the workbench shell is healthy.

Logs

  • Windows: Logs top-bar page — enable debug, export bundle, open folder.
  • Capture screenshots of the failing state when filing bugs at [email protected].
