Front-end Freezing Issue During Workflow Test Execution on Self-Hosted N8n

Questions
1

Hi n8n Community,

I am currently facing an issue with our self-hosted N8n instance. This problem has persisted across multiple versions. When we try to run a test on the front-end, the workflow execution appears to be stuck. Specifically, after triggering the test execution of a node, the front-end interface freezes, preventing further testing or implementation. However, upon checking the “executions” section, I can confirm that the execution is indeed happening in the back-end.

I am seeking assistance to understand how to properly configure N8n to avoid this issue. Any insights or guidance on how to resolve this front-end freezing problem while ensuring that the back-end execution functions smoothly would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hey @_LT, thanks for reaching out. Could you share a video of this happening? Additionally, since you are self-hosting, you could increase the verbosity of n8n’s logging. Feel free to share logging from the period your recording covers and we can take a deeper look.
