Workflow using process.exit

henk_stobbe — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 09:01:01 GMT

Good morning,

My (workflow) script fetches data in a loop, and when a certain condition is met, the script needs to stop completely. I want to use process.exit for this. Is this a problem?

As an more clear example see below:

let x = 1;

while (x > 0) {

console.log(x);

x++;

if (x > 10) {

console.log('Exiting...');

process.exit();

}

Any problems in this?

As far as I know, process.exit() is not supported by our runtime.

I would recommend doing this via Run JavaScript and "return":

export default async function ({ executionId }) { let x = 1; while (x > 0) { console.log(x); x++; if (x > 10) { console.log('Exiting...'); return; } }}

Hi Christian,

Clear, so if you are in a subroutine you can only do a return out of that routine to prevent spaghetti (-;
