Refresh the page does not work, but when I open a new tab, everything is back normal. Before I execute Test workflow once. Then back offline.

My internet connexion does not stop.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Check the server connection and workflow configuration to resolve the intermittent "No network connection" and "Lost connection to the server" errors.

Guidance

  • Verify that the server connection is stable and not causing the intermittent disconnections, as the issue seems to resolve when opening a new tab.
  • Review the workflow configuration to ensure it's not causing the connection loss, especially after executing the "Test workflow" node.
  • Check the Docker and node.js versions for any known issues related to connectivity or stability.
  • Investigate the pruning settings to see if they're causing any issues with the workflow executions.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information about the workflow configuration or server setup.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the connection between the client and server, and the provided information suggests that it might be specific to the workflow or server configuration. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate and adjust the workflow configuration and server settings to improve stability and prevent connection losses, as the issue seems to be related to the specific setup rather than a version-specific problem.
