"Executing workflow" status keeps spinning endlessly even though workflow is done in n8n v1.66

Describe the issue

I’m having an issue with workflow execution in n8n v1.66. When I click to start my chat workflow, the “Executing workflow” status keeps spinning endlessly in the Editor tab. However, when I check the Executions tab, I can see my workflow actually completed successfully with the expected output.

This seems to be a UI bug since:

  • The workflow runs and completes (visible in Executions tab)
  • The spinner never stops in Editor tab
  • The three dots in the chat window continuously show the loading animation
  • When I manually click on the stop button, only then does the UI finally show that the workflow finished executing
  • This issue doesn’t happen in v1.62.4

Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

Thanks!

Hi @Koong

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :partying_face:

We might have fixed this UI bug already, can you please update your n8n version to the latest and see if the issue persists?
