n8n - 💡(How to fix) Fix Connection Lost Loop [1 comments, 2 participants]

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by investigating and addressing the root cause of the "Connection Lost" error, potentially related to the n8n version or browser/network interactions.

Guidance

• Verify if the issue persists across different browsers and networks to isolate the problem.
• Check the n8n documentation for known issues or updates related to connection stability in version 2.17.6.
• Consider downgrading to a previous version of n8n (e.g., 2.17.5) to see if the issue is version-specific.
• Investigate potential network or firewall settings that might be causing the connection loss.

Notes

The fact that restarting and re-login temporarily solves the issue until an action is executed suggests a potential issue with the application's session management or connection handling.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue is intermittent and restarting temporarily resolves it, applying a workaround such as automatically restarting the application or re-establishing the connection after a certain period of inactivity might be a viable temporary solution.
