Test Step does not work, but execute workflow does

Describe the problem/error/question

I have pinned data from the node provided source data. I can see the source data in the node editor. When I hit test node, I get no result but get the notification “Workflow executed successfully”. The only way I can get a node to execute on the pinned data is executing the entire workflow.

What is the error message (if any)?

No Errors

This is happening on official docker

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:

On n8n docker container 1.37.3

Heres a video recording of the behavior.

Yep, that one is buggy. It will work again after you will hit the “trash bin” icon near the execute workflow button

Hrm, thats just as cumbersome as leaving the node and pressing Test Workflow again. I feel like this used to work for me

Hi There, I wanted to see if you found a fix for this issue. Same thing happened to me and pinning data used to work fine. Now i have to run the entire workflow just to generate the same context input.

I tried the trash bin and that leads to me rerunning the whole workflow.
Your video link is broken but my workflow I’m having this issue with includes a previous binary step. I found this in the documentation:
You can’t pin data if the output data includes binary data.

I don’t know if that could be causing our issue? It may also be related to this thread: Pinned Data doesn’t work - Questions - n8n

Afraid not, still happens on the latest version. :confused:

Hey,

@blee have you found a solution ?
We are facing the same behaviour with n8n on Docker…
