[Bug] Template Tag plugin: can't use quotes in `string`

• Insomnia Version: 6.4.2
• Operating System: Windows 10

Details

You can reproduce the bug in these conditions:

• using a Template Tag plugin
• one of the plugin args is of type string

Now, try using quotes character " in the value for the string type argument.

Even though the “Live Preview” shows a valid value, the request JSON body parser throws an error.

Maybe this is a duplicate of #1030, but I am not sure of it.

This was fixed here: https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/commit/8adee60c8671291712b8ad33f6bbc1e43c453c16

The response tag will now store the filter value in base64 so the quotes won’t interfere

I see… It works fine when the template engine renders the JSON body provided to the request…

But… why not also apply some parsing to the JSON before it is provided to the linter?

Instead of having {% mytag '"some value"' %} string reaching JSON linter… we could apply JSON.stringify on it, so the linter would receive a valid syntax:

{
  "foo": "{% mytag '\"some value\"' %}"
}
