How to copy postman history from chrome app to native app? - google-chrome-extension

Question

Since Google is now ending the support for chrome apps. Recently Postman deprecated their chrome app and introduced a native app.
I am in the process of switching from postman chrome app to native app.
How do I copy the history from my chrome app to native app. Sync doesn't work.
There is a option to export data but that doesn't export the history.
Any Ideas?

Thanks to stephan for sharing this code.
Follow these steps to copy your history from chrome app to native app.
//In Chrome DevTools on the background page of the Postman extension...
//A handy helper method that lets you save data from the console to a file
(function(console){
console.save = function(data, filename){
if(!data) {
console.error('Console.save: No data')
return;
}
if(!filename) filename = 'console.json'
if(typeof data === "object"){
data = JSON.stringify(data, undefined, 4)
}
var blob = new Blob([data], {type: 'text/json'}),
e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents'),
a = document.createElement('a')
a.download = filename
a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)
a.dataset.downloadurl = ['text/json', a.download, a.href].join(':')
e.initMouseEvent('click', true, false, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null)
a.dispatchEvent(e)
}
})(console)
//Common error reporting function
function reportError(){
console.error('Oops, something went wrong :-(');
}
//Open the database
var dbReq = indexedDB.open('postman')
dbReq.onerror = reportError;
dbReq.onsuccess = function(){
var db = dbReq.result;
//Query for all the saved requests
var requestReq = db.transaction(["requests"],"readwrite").objectStore('requests').getAll();
requestReq.onerror = reportError;
requestReq.onsuccess = function(){
var requests = requestReq.result;
//Dump them to a file
console.save(JSON.stringify(requests), 'postman-requests-export.json')
console.info('Your existing requests have been exported to a file and downloaded to your computer. You will need to copy the contents of that file for the next part')
};
};
//Switch to standalone app and open the dev console
//Paste the text from the exported file here (overwriting the empty array)
var data = []
//Enter the guid/id of the workspace to import into. Run the script with this value blank if you need some help
// finding this value. Also, be sure you don't end up with extra quotes if you copy/paste the value
var ws = '';
//Common error reporting function
function reportError(){
console.error('Oops, something went wrong :-(');
}
//Open the database
var dbReq = indexedDB.open('postman-app')
dbReq.onerror = reportError;
dbReq.onsuccess = function(){
var db = dbReq.result;
if(!data.length){
console.error('You did not pass in any exported requests so there is nothing for this script to do. Perhaps you forgot to paste your request data?');
return;
}
if(!ws){
var wsReq = db.transaction(["workspace"],"readwrite").objectStore('workspace').getAll();
wsReq.onerror = reportError;
wsReq.onsuccess = function(){
console.error('You did not specify a workspace. Below is a dump of all your workspaces. Grab the guid (ID field) from the workspace you want these requests to show up under and include it at the top of this script');
console.log(wsReq.result);
}
return;
}
data.forEach(function(a){
a.workspace = ws;
db.transaction(["history"],"readwrite").objectStore('history').add(a);
});
console.log('Requests have been imported. Give it a second to finish up and then restart Postman')
}
//Restart Postman
Note :
1.To Use DevTools on your chrome app you will need to enable following flag in
chrome://flags
2.Then just right click and inspect on your chrome postman app.
3.To User DevTools on your native app ctrl+shift+I (view->showDevTools)
