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

Questions
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!

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 @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!
