HTTP Request node suddenly became not known

Describe the problem/error/question

The HTTP Request node is not known, despite no changes in my workflow and settings.

What is the error message (if any)?

Node Type “n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest” is not known

Please share your workflow

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 0.218.0
  • Database (default: SQLite): Default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker, caddy
  • Operating system: Linux

I was able to look at the raw JSON, for some reason, my nodes were set to typeVersion 4.1 which caused it to become invalid. I created a new HTTP Request node and see that the typeVersion should’ve been 3, so reverting that to 3 made it work

Hey @soba-james,

That was the first thing I noticed, So your version of n8n is not aware of the 4.1 version so shouldn’t have set that. Did you copy the workflow from an example somewhere or downgrade n8n recently? I would also recommend updating from 0.218.0 at some point.
