Workflows and Credentials are not showing up post import

Questions
1

I am moving my workflows and credentials from one instance to another. I have decrypted export.

The new installation is NPM installation with default setting. I have imported both the workflows and credentials from CLI and they imported without any errors.

Now, I am unable to view neither workflows nor the credentials. What could be the reason?

  • n8n version: 1.53.2
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):npm
  • Operating system:Debian 12

Hi @Aviral_Sangal ,

I’m sorry you’re having some issues here.
Could you share the steps you took? I’ve tried recreating with a new npm instance but it worked as expected, would be good to recreate your exact steps :slight_smile:

Hey there, I had the exact same issue. Installed n8n locally with npm and run it with pm2. Using SQLite.
After importing using the CLI neither workflows nor credentials turned up in the UI although the import went through.

In our case it was an issue with the executing user.

n8n runs under the user “n8n”. The CLI import was performed as root.
Running the import with sudo -u n8n ./bin/n8n import ... solved the issue.

Maybe that helps :slight_smile:
