fix(codegen): uppercase HTTP method in generated code snippets

[yeti-detective]

Summary

Generated code snippets (Generate Code → curl/Python/etc.) emit the HTTP method exactly as stored in the collection file. Because a .bru/.yml request can store the method lowercase (e.g. method: post), the exported snippet becomes:

• curl: curl --request post ...
• Python: conn.request("post", "/oauth/token", ...)

HTTP methods are case-sensitive on the wire (RFC 7231 §4.1), so these run differently from the in-app request: many servers (e.g. Auth0's /oauth/token) reject the verbatim lowercase verb with 400 Bad Request. The request works in Bruno but the copied code doesn't.

Root cause

The request executor already normalizes the method to uppercase before sending:

// packages/bruno-electron/src/ipc/network/index.js
method: (_item.request?.method || 'GET').toString().toUpperCase(),

…but the code generator passed it through verbatim:

// packages/bruno-app/.../GenerateCodeItem/utils/snippet-generator.js
method: request.method,

So the runtime and codegen paths disagree on method casing.

Fix

Uppercase the method in snippet-generator.js so exported code matches what Bruno sends on the wire, mirroring the executor's normalization.

Testing

• Added a regression test in snippet-generator.spec.js asserting a lowercase post method produces -X POST in the snippet.
• npm test --workspace=packages/bruno-app -- snippet-generator → 55 passed.

• Bug Fixes

  • Generated cURL snippets now consistently use uppercase HTTP methods, preventing issues when requests use lowercase methods.

• Tests

  • Added coverage to verify lowercase request methods are converted to uppercase in generated snippets.

Walkthrough

Generated snippets now uppercase HTTP methods before HAR conversion, with a regression test confirming lowercase post produces -X POST in curl output.

Changes

Snippet method normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize and validate HTTP methods packages/bruno-app/.../utils/snippet-generator.js, packages/bruno-app/.../utils/snippet-generator.spec.js	HAR requests default missing methods to GET and uppercase provided methods; a Jest test verifies lowercase methods generate uppercase curl verbs.

Poem

Lowercase verbs take flight,
Uppercase snippets shine bright.
POST now stands tall,
Consistent for all—
Curl speaks the protocol right.
