9 months ago Hey @jpardoe86,
Thanks for the report, I have taken a quick look and I was able to quickly reproduce it with the workflow below.
It looks like when you manually run a node it will try and use the first input and not the input that may actually contain the data. I have created an internal dev ticket for this which we are tracking as N8N-7017.

9 months ago Amazing, thanks! Any ideas on a workaround for the time being? I found that using first() works instead of item for handling some instances, but that doesn't work when there are multiple items. Note the issue also happens after the LOOP node too.

9 months ago Hey @jpardoe86,
The only workaround I can think of at the moment is to use the excute worklfow button at the bottom and make use of pinned data for any nodes that make network calls that will then at least allow you to test the workflow. The other possible workarounds are not great and would involve more complex workflows or deleting the branches when testing.

9 months ago Okay great I'll try pinning the data. Thanks again!

5 months ago Did a dive into this issue and posting results here because I think these are related issues. Hoping this can help pinpoint where the bug is.
It seems "Test step" uses a different input than the workflow and even changes with subsequent uses. If pinned data, "Test step" seems to always use the first input in the input drop down list regardless of how the workflow goes. If unpinned data, "Test step" will use the first input in the input drop down list for the first run regardless of the workflow. It will then seem to use no input and not run at all but say "Workflow executed successfully" on all subsequent runs. If you go to the input node that is second on the input drop down list and click "Test run" it seems to "reset" the node after it. When you go to that node and click "Test run" it will work as if you ran it the first time by giving you data. But then all subsequent runs will not run at all like before.
Input drop down list:
With pinned data or unpinned data. It seems it is with "Test step" specifically. "Test workflow" gives the correct output on the node based on the flow of the workflow.
I also noticed it usually says "Workflow executed successfully" instead of "Node executed successfully" in these strange scenarios after clicking "Test step".
The easiest thing is to delete all branches except for the one I am testing. This works normally but I need to remember to reconnect everything after I finish testing.
A better solution is to create a sub workflow and have each one send to the sub workflow.
Both low and high side have pinned data
high
[{
"value": 0.8,
"round": "high"
}]low
[{
"value": 0.3,
"round": "low"
}]The node "Add low value" adds a low value to the "value" key which is 0.3. The switch checks for > 0.5 so goes to Fallback case sending to "low side" in this case. "low side" sends its pinned date to "after round". That is the flow that is taken in this setup.
So what I should see when I go into "after round" is:
[{
"value": 0.3,
"round": "low"
}]But what I am seeing is coming from the "high side" which is incorrect and not being hit in this workflow.
In this case "Test step" is using the data that comes from "high side" even though the workflow does not touch that step.
If I go to the canvas and use the "Test workflow" button I can see everything shows correctly.
If I click on "Test step", it will then show me the wrong data again
In this scenario, I have everything unpinned. The flow will always go to the "low side".
When I am in "after round" I should always get
[{
"value": 0.3,
"round": "low"
}]But I get nothing at all. When this happens it always says "Workflow executed successfully" instead of "Node executed successfully". Also the check mark does not show up on the "after round" node as if it was never actually hit when looking at the canvas.
Now if I go out to the canvas and click on "Test workflow" then you will see the workflow shows check marks for everything and if I go into "after round" I will see the correct output I expected.
Same as low but setting a high value of 0.8. I am including this scenario because it acts differently than the low scenario
high showing once then nothing.json
I expect when clicking "Test step" to get a value of:
[{
"value": 0.8,
"round": "high",
"my_field_1": "value"
}]This actually works the first time.
But then when I click "Test step" a second or more times I get this.
I can "reset" it in a way by going to "low side" node and clicking "Test step" which shows no output data. Then go back to "after round" and click "Test step" and I get a value for the first run and then no value for second or more times after that.
It does not "reset" if I go to high side and click "Test step" like with low side.
I have a webhook that receives data with an action key and based on the value of that the results are slightly different. I need to get the Ids differently based on that action and send it to a flow. I have t
Describe the bug I have a workflow which requires me to reload the site every time before getting data, otherwise no data is returned.
Here’s what it starts as:
When I click on “Execute previous nodes” after loading for the first time, it does this:
So far, so good. But this is what happens if I click Execute Node:
If I refresh the page and rather than clicking “Execute previous nodes” I straight away click “Execute node”, it works:
The bug appears to be new as I’ve been fine up until this point, but it is seriously hindering productivity having to save then reload the page EVERY_SINGLE_TIME I need to test a node.
One clue as to what’s causing the bug might be the fact that I have a couple of IF nodes. I have noticed unpredictable behaviour where the green ticks go off down the wrong route. For example, if the result is TRUE, I see the green ticks actually go down the FALSE path instead. This may be why there is no data arriving at the node I’m working on. The IF node only sends data down the right path on first-load.
Here's a video of that behaviour (I checked and confirmed the IF node returned FALSE but you can see the process going down the TRUE path and then stalling): https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/assets/134935050/868e7bcb-b9ee-42d4-95ea-0ca924ff80ae
