Flow will not open

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 8
I created a very simple flow last night and today I get the error when I attempt to edit the flow:
 
Exception message: Cannot create and populate list type System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList`1[Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Shared.Clients.DataClients.Entities.ConnectionReference]. Path '', line 1, position 1.
 
Is there a way to recover a corrupt flow or some of the contents. This is technically a very simple flow. There are two move file tasks and a lot of comments. The part that I really want to retrieve is my comments. I designed the process flow of what the final project will look like including build phases, etc. Any idea how to fix the project or how to export the JSON so that I can retrieve my notes?

    Hi,
     
    It is not clear what you want from what, please always share the flow and provide context and details to what you are needing.

    I will see if I can export the flow. The issue is, I have a corrupt Desktop flow that I can't open. Are there any recommendations for recovering the information or exporting it into a non-binary format?

    I found the issue here. It is a security issue in our network
