Issues with viewing and pausing workflow execution during testing in n8n editor (version 1.60.1)

I saw this post but now its closed, I just want to know what browser worked for them, I’ve already tried Chrome and Firefox.

I’m encountering a couple of issues while testing and editing my workflow in the n8n editor (version 1.60.1):

  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.

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

hello @Zachary_E

Actually it should be working fine. Try to clear the browser cache.

You can run the workflow up to the desired node if you click on it and use the Test Step button. There is no pause functionality
