Wouah... Have you ever seen a glitch like this?

Describe the problem/error/question

I’ve been struggling with a glitch all day long. I narrowed it down to the place of a node on my workflow screen ! See the screenshot for details. Everyting is equal otherwise. In the test, I just drag the write Excel node from the bottom to the top. I don’t plug / cut branches or change data. Just move the node. On the bottom of the screen, it works (file is sent back to a frontend through webhook respond). On the top, it fails.

Have you ever seen such a glitch ? Could it come from my browser (Firefox) ?

What is the error message (if any)?

On the frontend HTML : file not received.

Please share your workflow

Hey @Paqueuc

I haven’t experienced this behavior myself, but it might be related on how n8n executes nodes: Execution order in multi-branch workflows | n8n Docs

If you’re using multiple branches (eg. through an if node) the branches will execute one after the other from top to bottom. Try to see if there’s a different execution order when the workflow runs in those two scenarios.

If this would be the case then the next question would be why one option produces the error - maybe there’s a dependency between two nodes that’s not explicitly expressed by connecting them to maintain a certain order.
