How to turn the "processing" animation on?

[hanamizuki]

I have a self-hosted n8n on aws using docker, and I saw another installed on heroku has this,

The circle animation works very well and ends when the execution ends, while my install never show anything and never ends a test execution even if it’s “success” in “Executions” tab. I always have to manually stop the execution. And if there’s any error it’s impossible to stop, I have to refresh to restart.

How can I enable the processing animation?

• n8n version: 1.63.4
• Database (default: SQLite): Not sure
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): not sure
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
• Operating system: Ubuntu

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Hey @hanamizuki

The animation is not something you can turn off which would suggest one of 2 things…

1. you are not running a test workflow from the url and you have the workflow open while making production calls.

2. You are self hosted and are using a reverse proxy like nginx and it is not configured to use web sockets correctly.

Thank you so much for the hint! I ended up solve this issue by adding the following conf to nginx conf file.

        chunked_transfer_encoding off;
        proxy_buffering off;
        proxy_cache off;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
