Bug Description

When previewing a JSON file in Storage Explorer, modifying the file content so that it is no longer valid JSON and then clicking Format JSON does not produce any visible response. The content is not formatted, and no error message, warning, or validation feedback is displayed.

Resource Types

Blobs, ADLS Gen2 blobs, File shares

Authentication Method

None

Connection Type

None

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch Storage Explorer.
2. Expand one storage account -> Blob Containers.
3. Create a blob container -> Upload one Json file.
4. Modify the content so that it is no longer valid Json.
5. Preview the JSON file -> Click Format JSON.
6. Check the result.

Actual Experience

Clicking Format JSON has no visible effect.
Here is the gif:

Expected Experience

It is better to validate the content before formatting.

Additional Context

No response

Start by reproducing the issue in the JSON preview and tracing the Format JSON action. The change is done when invalid JSON produces visible validation feedback instead of silently doing nothing, while valid JSON continues to format normally.
