BUG: IF & Switch nodes are malfunctioning

[shrey-42]

Describe the issue/error/question

The IF node is resulting in a True when it should be False.

Below is an example of the flow from a live use-case.

Please share the workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version: 0.207.1
• Database you’re using (default: SQLite): postgres
• Running n8n with the execution process [own(default), main]: main
• Running n8n via [Docker, npm, n8n.cloud, desktop app]: docker

Maybe check for empty value? i think 0 because empty. Yeah strange.

explicit typecasting doesn’t work either:

Same issue with the Switch node:

Hi @MutedJam , forgot to post an update: i did figure out that the issue isn’t completely with IF/Switch nodes, in this case.

The incoming data isn’t actually empty even though the UI shows it as such (found out after i console logged it).

It appears empty in the UI because the only existing property’s value is undefined.

And that links us back to this earlier reported bug:

Recommendation: Display of proper `null` value in the UI

Describe the issue/error/question When a property in the output item contains a null value, it is displayed as blank, instead of null. As an empty value of "" is also displayed as blank, it might be better to have the null displayed in the first case because otherwise it’s pretty confusing.

So, i think there are 2 issues now:

1. Misrepresentation of incoming properties & values in the UI
2. Misrepresentation of non-empty value in the Preview section of the value, in the IF & the Switch nodes.
