Got stuck in an Infinite Loop. Any way to hard stop a workflow from executing?

rupesh

Hi. I was testing a workflow while creating it and got stuck in an infinite while loop.

It was a panic situation as every time it looped an External API Request was being called and I desperately needed a manual way to interrupt the workflow to stop it.

In this instance, I changed the API Key of the external endpoint in the environment variable which I think resulted in exiting from the Loop.

However, I would like to know if there is a way to hard stop the workflow from executing in such a scenario. Might help if something goes wrong again.

Hi @rupesh there isn't currently a way to force stop a loop once it has begun execution. However, we do have infinite loop detection and we will throw an error if we detect one to prevent it from running

Thanks for your reply. A force stop button somewhere inside Run & Debug will be helpful.
