I like the feature of chrome that allows overriding the content an API call returns. But it looks not working all the time, and I don’t understand why is not working. Maybe someone here can help me with a clarification.
For some requests, when I want to save the data I get a small yellow triangle like the one in the attached screen capture with the explanation: “Changes to this file were not saved to the file system”.
I have another API call who’s response I did override and saved. See the second screenshot from the sources panel.
Both requests are from the same domain, API calls. I don’t understand why the second one is not working – cannot be saved.
I tried to create in the destination folder a file called “file_id” and put the content I need inside it. But it didn’t work, the browser didn’t load the content from this file. The violet dot visibile on organization_db file name. (see the screen capture) was not present in the manualy added “file_id” file.
To resume, save didn’t work for the second file.
I run Version 126.0.6478.183 (Official Build) (arm64) of Chrome, on Mac
I have a few questions, maybe partial responses can lead me (or other people, because are more people asking this question and no good response was provided so far)
- Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
- Is possible to manually link a saved file to an response (manually set the override)
- Did I miss some settings/flags?
