Why is pnpm dev randomly not working?

I Guess this is a question for the n8n community developers. after installing and building n8n based on the Contribution Guide and then running

pnpm dev

the localhost:8080 randomly works (or not). I noticed that it usually tends to run well on a first run but then doesn’t run if I rerun pnpm dev again after existing the initial run process. can anyone explain this behavior and a way to workaround it?

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:
