ResponseError: The query parameter "pushRef" is missing!

Describe the problem/error/question

Hey guys!!! We have just upgraded our n8n from version 1.19.0 to 1.59.0. Since then we are observing the said error in docker logs.

What is the error message (if any)?

ResponseError: The query parameter "pushRef" is missing!

Information on your n8n setup

Hello @Anmol ,

Welcome to out community forum!

And thanks for sharing the matter you observed after the upgrade.

On a quick research I found a previous post about it with some tips of what can be the cause and how to address it. Could you check Getting "ResponseError: The query parameter "pushRef" is missing" after updating n8n to version 1.41.0 and let us know if that would help?

If that does not help can you tell us more about the impact if you see any besides the message in the log?

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hey @Flavio_Orfano ,

Thank you for a swift response.

As you pointed out my issue is somewhat similar to the post that you shared. We’ve observed that a we can open 2-3 tabs of n8n (could be different pages like execution page or workflows page etc), but beyond a certain limit (or any particular page) we start getting this error in docker logs and we cannot access any new page further. All of this can be resolved by restarting the n8n container.

Not sure if this is related or not but this “pushRef” error is often accompanied by another error related to Axios,

AxiosError: 404 - "\n<!doctype html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n  <title>Not Found</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n  <h1>Not Found</h1><p>The requested resource was not found on this server.</p>\n</body>\n</html>\n"
