Detailed Test Report for Workflow Runs
The Workflow run layout: sequential node executions, extracted variables, per-node request/response and logs, and why an early failure cascades.
Overview
This is the detailed report for a Workflow run. It is a different layout from the Detailed test report used for Functional runs, because the thing being reported is different.
A Functional run is a set of independent tests — each one's result stands alone. A workflow is a sequence: nodes execute in order, each one potentially depending on values the previous node produced. So this report is organized around the sequence and what flowed through it.
Execution Summary
The run's metadata:
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Run Id | The run's unique id. |
| Executed By | Who or what started it. |
| Date & Time / Execution Time | When it ran and how long it took. |
| Execution Type | Manual or scheduled. |
| Projects | The projects involved — a workflow can span more than one. |
| Priority | The workflow's priority. |
Node Executions (Sequential)
The core of the report: each node in the order it executed, with its outcome.
Read this top down, and stop at the first failure. In a sequence, the first genuine failure is usually the only real one — everything after it is a consequence. A node that failed because the node before it never produced the id it needed isn't a second bug; it's the same bug, reported twice.
This is why a workflow's Not run count is often large and rarely alarming: once the chain breaks, the remaining nodes never get their turn. Compare that with a Functional run, where Not run means something was deliberately skipped.
If no nodes ran, the report shows No node executions found.
Extracted Variables
What each node pulled out of its response and passed forward — the mechanism that makes a workflow a workflow rather than a list of requests.
This is the first place to look when a later node fails on obviously wrong input. If a node shows No Variables Extracted and a downstream node needed one of its values, you've found the break: the extraction didn't match the response, so the next node ran with nothing.
The failure surfaces at the consuming node, but the cause is at the producing one. Always walk back up the sequence.
Request & Response Details
Per node, the request as sent and the response as received. Same discipline as a functional report: check the URL, then the headers, then the body, before suspecting the API.
In a workflow the extra question is whether the values from earlier nodes actually landed. A request still carrying a placeholder, or carrying a stale value from a previous run, points at extraction rather than at the endpoint.
Assertions
The checks applied at each node, and whether they passed. A node can execute successfully and still fail its assertions — that's a Failed node, not an Error.
Execution Logs
Logs for the run, and per node. Where a node has none, you'll see No execution logs available for this node or No detailed logs available for this node; if the run has none at all, No execution logs available.
Error Summary
The consolidated errors from the run. Useful for a quick read, but for anything non-obvious go back to Node Executions (Sequential) and find the first failure — the summary lists errors, and in a cascade most of them are symptoms.
Troubleshooting
- Many nodes Not run — normal after an early failure; the chain stopped. Fix the first failing node and re-run before investigating the rest.
- A node failed on input that looks wrong — check Extracted Variables on the node before it.
- "No Variables Extracted" on a node others depend on — the extraction didn't match the response shape. Compare against the actual response in Request & Response Details.
- The workflow passes alone but fails in a pack — likely shared state or ordering. Workflows that depend on data another test mutates aren't independent.
- "Error Loading Report" / "No report data available" — the report couldn't be fetched. Reload; if it persists see Debug logging.
