SyntaxError: identifier starts immediately after numeric literal

[Lauro_Becker]

Hi!

First of all, n8n is awesome. Is a life saver. Thank you guys for the great work!

Describe the issue/error/question

A few days ago I started not being able to access the visual interface anymore.

What is the error message (if any)?

In the Javascript Console, the following error appears:

SyntaxError: identifier starts immediately after numeric literal
[ParameterInputList-ad2c5847.js:53:9683]

Any idea or workaround?

Thank you!

I just did a rollback to version 0.213.0 and it worked again.

Hey @Lauro_Becker,

Welcome to the community

That is a bit strange, did the PM2 log show any errors?

[Lauro_Becker]

Hey, Jon!

I know it sounds weird, but it’s working in Chrome, and it’s not in Firefox.

This is the only error:

1|n8n      | (node:15592) [PINODEP008] PinoWarning: prettyPrint is deprecated, look at https://github.com/pinojs/pino-pretty for alternatives.
1|n8n      | (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Maybe it was some problem in the compilation of the assets?

Thank you!

Could be, I just gave the latest release a go in Firefox instead of Brave and it looks to be all good now. Might be worth an upgrade to see if the latest release is all good.

[Lauro_Becker]

I’ll do it. Thanks!

Hi @Jon ,
I can confirm this exact issue happens on version 0.213.0.
The login page loads fine in Chrome, but errors out and stays blank in Firefox.

After switching to the latest release (0.220.0), the situation gets worse because it doesn’t work on Chrome anymore:

This kinda looks like a bundling issue.

Did you find a solution, @Lauro_Becker ?

I rolled back to 0.210.0, and this one works both on Chrome & ff:

Hey @occupytheweb,

Welcome to the community

0.220.0 should be fine in Chrome that is what I have been using on one of my machines without issue, Looking at the URL for your instance you are self hosting and Cloudflare is in use. Are you using a Cloudflare tunnel or any of their caching options as well?

[Lauro_Becker]

Hey!

The last version works for me.

Sometimes it doesn’t work on Firefox.

I’m using Cloudflare.

[occupytheweb]

Hey they @Jon .
Thanks, I’m glad to be here !

Indeed, that deployment was a Docker-based self hosted one, with Cloudflare as DNS provider. Though, it was not using Tunnels.
It indeed looks like I’ve been running into some caching issues, as it now looks to be working fine on both Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks for your assistance!
And thanks for your reply, @Lauro_Becker !
