Temporarily disable external runners to confirm JS execution works in the main process

N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=false

Restart n8n and test the JavaScript node. If it works, the issue is definitely with runner connectivity.

At the beginning I had without runner and same issue. Is there a way to test from terminal inside of the container? Maybe to run the java it require a component

4

Just to echo this, I’ve had this problem start as well. Previously working JS code node on n8n cloud now just enters an endless execution loop.

Tried deactivating and adding a new code node with the default boilerplate, same issue

5

Yes, So I was hoping there is a test I can do to find more info. Somewhere outside of editor

6

Anyone can help with this?

Did you get a resolution for this? Suddenly my code nodes never stop running and move on to the next node, like they are in an execution loop that doesn’t end

8

No I did not get anything. I have now more issue. I will open a new topic
