N8n crashes due to an error in the workflow

Describe the issue/error/question

In an existing, webhook based, activated workflow, i added a Stop and Error node. I then saved the workflow without putting in a value for the parameter Error Message in the Stop and Error node.
Then, as soon as i called the workflow, the n8n container crashed.

What is the error message (if any)?

After restarting, this was in the log:

023-04-01T13:15:04.393407268Z Error: The workflow has issues and can for that reason not be executed. Please fix them first.

Please share the workflow

Simplified, relevant part of my workflow (that’s also able to reproduce the issue):

Expected Behaviour:

  1. The already activated workflow should have either given an error when saved, or should have become inactivated. Right?
  2. Even if the workflow had a fault, the container shouldn’t have crashed.

Hi @shrey-42, sorry for the trouble this causes and thank you so much for reporting this.

I was able to reproduce this crash when running n8n with EXECUTIONS_PROCESS=main. I’ve added this to our backlog and we’ll confirm once this has been fixed.

Hey @MutedJam, this issue is still persisting, in v0.223.0.
