Retry failed retried executions

Hi,

Recently I moved to version 1.39.0 from 1.16.0 and I noticed a weird thing:

In version 1.16.0 (and before) retried failed executions can be retried again:

But in 1.39.0 this is not the case - Only the original failed execution can be retried:

I wonder why this behavior changed?

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:

Hi @jellybean

Yes, this was a conscious decision we implemented in release version 1.36.2
We wanted that the retry button should be shown only for errored executions that don’t already have a successful retry.

Thanks @ria ,
Take a look at the second screenshot I provided.
Only first failed execution has retry button. The other “failed” ones don’t have retry button.

Let’s imagine this flow: A → B → C → D → E → F
Suppose first execution would throw error at B node. I would retry it and it passes the B node but throw another error at E node.
But the second execution doesn’t have retry button. It means I can’t retry the execution at E node. Only the first execution (B node) can be retried.
Therefore B, C and D nodes are getting run again. Which doesn’t make sense.

Maybe I got it wrong.
Could you help?

Hello? anyone?

Hi @ria
Could you please look into this issue? I’m encountering the same problem where my first execution failed at the second node of a six-node flow. When I retried, the second execution also failed, but this time at the sixth node. Currently, I don’t have the option to retry the second execution, and I’d prefer not to restart from the beginning. I want to retry only the sixth node of the latest execution. Can you help with this? Thanks

Hi all,
very sorry for the delayed response!

We had a look internally and were able to reproduce the issue. We have started a ticket for it and will update about the progress here.

Thanks for your patience and your valuable feedback :pray:
