Issues with viewing and pausing workflow execution during testing in n8n editor (version 1.44.1)

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering a couple of issues while testing and editing my workflow in the n8n editor (version 1.44.1):

  1. Viewing Execution: The workflow execution does not appear in the editor during test mode. I can only see the executions in the “Executions” section. This makes it difficult to edit, as I cannot visualize the workflow running in real-time during testing.
  2. Pausing Execution: When I click “Test Workflow,” I cannot manually pause the execution. The only way I have found to stop the process is by refreshing the browser page, which is not ideal. I would like to know if there is a way to pause the workflow directly in the editor without needing to refresh the page.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve these issues.

Thank you!

Hey @llmanes

Welcome to the community :tada:

Can you share some info on how you are running n8n? At a guess you may be self hosting and using nginx as a reverse proxy without updating the nginx configuration to support websockets.

Hi @Jon ,

You were spot on! The issue was indeed related to WebSockets. I was able to resolve it by simply switching browsers. It seems that the browser I was initially using wasn’t handling the WebSocket connections properly.

Thanks for the tip and support!
