Workflows are loading indefinitely

Hi guys,

Hope you are doing well,

I’m currently running n8n locally and it was working fine until today where the app have a strange behaviour which is when i execute a workflow is load for an infinite time and if i stop it shows the execution (video here) :

Worst thing is when i execute from a webhook trigger it just load and i can’t even stop it video here :

I don’t really understand what happens since it was working just fine an hour ago.

Thanks in advance for your answers (sorry if my english is broken haha)

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:

Not sure whats happening in the first clip. That happens to me sometimes and usually a page refesh fixes for me.

In the second clip, it is waiting for you to call the webhook. You need to click into the trigger node and send a webhook to the url listed to trigger it.
You can also press the pin button on the top right of the trigger node to add JSON data manually, and in that case it will run right away with the data you entered

Thanks for your answer,

But the problem is when i trigger the node (which used to work before) it continues loading but it is executed in background (i see it because my mautic fields are updated) also i should be able to stop it even if i don’t trigger it which isn’t the case now.

Also i can’t execute nodes individualy it ask for the whole to be executed which is also weird because sometimes it is only related to a manual trigger or the node itself doesn’t rely on others to work.

Ok, to help further we’ll need this info to try to reproduce the issue

yep there it is :

    n8n version: 1.73.1
    Database (default: SQLite): I have de default config 
    Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker compose
    Operating system:  Ubuntu 24.04 in Hostinger

Also i don’t think it is related to the new version because it started not working on the previous one and i decided to update to see if it fixes it.

Is there a way that i can make a clean install and keep my workflows (i only have a few) to get rid of this ? ahah @liam

Well apparently today it is working as it should. It’s very strange but i’m glad it works!! thanks @liam for trying with me :slight_smile:

It happens for me too. You need to refresh your page and the things goes well.
