Workflows testing : best practises

[guillim]

Question

Are there any recommendation for project willing to implement Continuous integration on n8n workflows ? We develop quite a lot of n8n workflows and sub-workflows. We try to have Set nodes setting “isProduction = true” everywhere, since we don’t see “environments” inside n8n.cloud. But maybe I miss something. Any ideas ? Any good practise to share ?

I have seen this : but it sounds very manual and not really scalable to me :

Test sub-workflow with data from trigger workflow

Took me a bit to wrap my head around how to best test my sub-workflows, without having to hop tabs constantly triggering the parent workflow just to have the data come through! Also this way I can use the visual editor while referencing live execution data, which is a far more enjoyable development experience. 1. Add 2 nodes to your subworkflow Copy astrong textnd paste the code below into your subworkflow to add the two nodes “Set Init-Data” and “Input Data”. [image|] …

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version: latest
• Running n8n via n8n.cloud

Hi @guillim, I think the team is working hard on bringing support for proper environments to n8n cloud. Perhaps @sirdavidoff can share more information on the exact plans around this?

We are indeed working on a suite of features around CI/CD of workflows — they will be released on our enterprise plan.

Ok, do you have a timed roadmap on that ? I need to know if it’s a matter of days or years to take decisions

It’s under active development now and the first version should be out in a month or two.
