n8n - 💡(How to fix) Fix The Wait node never resumes. [2 comments, 3 participants]

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

• error: all

TL;DR

The Wait node gets stuck due to a JavaScript error dbTime.getTime is not a function, indicating a potential issue with the dbTime object.

Guidance

• Verify the dbTime object is correctly defined and has a getTime method before using it in the Wait node.
• Check the n8n version and Node.js version for any known issues or compatibility problems, as the error might be related to the specific versions used (n8n 2.16.1 and Node.js 24.14.1).
• Inspect the workflow configuration to ensure the Wait node is properly set up and not causing an infinite loop.
• Consider checking the Postgres database connection and configuration, as the error might be related to the database interaction.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more context about the workflow and node configuration.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the n8n version, Node.js version, or Postgres database configuration. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by checking the dbTime object and its methods before using it in the Wait node, as the error suggests a potential issue with the object's definition or usage.
