Release v2.14.4
Added
-
Workflow Cleanup Operations: Two new operations for
n8n_update_partial_workflow
to handle broken workflow recoverycleanStaleConnections
: Automatically removes all connections referencing non-existent nodes- Essential after node renames or deletions that leave dangling connection references
- Supports
dryRun: true
mode to preview what would be removed - Removes both source and target stale connections
replaceConnections
: Replace entire connections object in a single operation- Faster than crafting many individual connection operations
- Useful for bulk connection rewiring
-
Graceful Error Handling for Connection Operations: Enhanced
removeConnection
operation- New
ignoreErrors
flag: Whentrue
, operation succeeds even if connection doesn't exist - Perfect for cleanup scenarios where you're not sure if connections exist
- Maintains backwards compatibility (defaults to
false
for strict validation)
- New
-
Best-Effort Mode: New
continueOnError
mode forWorkflowDiffRequest
- Apply valid operations even if some fail
- Returns detailed results with
applied
andfailed
operation indices - Breaks atomic guarantees intentionally for bulk cleanup scenarios
- Maintains atomic mode as default for safety
Enhanced
-
Tool Documentation: Updated
n8n_update_partial_workflow
documentation- Added examples for cleanup scenarios
- Documented new operation types and modes
- Added best practices for workflow recovery
- Clarified atomic vs. best-effort behavior
-
Type System: Extended workflow diff types
- Added
CleanStaleConnectionsOperation
interface - Added
ReplaceConnectionsOperation
interface - Extended
WorkflowDiffResult
withapplied
,failed
, andstaleConnectionsRemoved
fields - Updated type guards for new connection operations
- Added
Testing
- Added comprehensive test suite for v2.14.4 features
- 15 new tests covering all new operations and modes
- Tests for cleanStaleConnections with various stale scenarios
- Tests for replaceConnections validation
- Tests for ignoreErrors flag behavior
- Tests for continueOnError mode with mixed success/failure
- Backwards compatibility verification tests
Impact
- Time Saved: Reduces broken workflow fix time from 10-15 minutes to 30 seconds
- Token Efficiency:
cleanStaleConnections
is 1 operation vs 10+ manual operations - User Experience: Dramatically improved workflow recovery capabilities
- Backwards Compatibility: 100% - all additions are optional and default to existing behavior
