At https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/pull/8213 we introduced Redis hashes
for workflow ownership and manual webhooks...
- to remove clutter from multiple related keys at the top level,
- to improve performance by preventing serializing-deserializing, and
- to guarantee atomicity during concurrent updates in multi-main setup.
Workflow activation errors can also benefit from this. Added test
coverage as well.
To test manually, create a workflow with a trigger with an invalid
credential, edit the workflow's `active` column to `true`, and restart.
The activation error should show as a red triangle on canvas and in the
workflow list.
Story: https://linear.app/n8n/issue/PAY-1188
- Implement Redis hashes on the caching service, based on Micha's work
in #7747, adapted from `node-cache-manager-ioredis-yet`. Optimize
workflow ownership lookups and manual webhook lookups with Redis hashes.
- Simplify the caching service by removing all currently unused methods
and options: `enable`, `disable`, `getCache`, `keys`, `keyValues`,
`refreshFunctionEach`, `refreshFunctionMany`, `refreshTtl`, etc.
- Remove the flag `N8N_CACHE_ENABLED`. Currently some features on
`master` are broken with caching disabled, and test webhooks now rely
entirely on caching, for multi-main setup support. We originally
introduced this flag to protect against excessive memory usage, but
total cache usage is low enough that we decided to drop this setting.
Apparently this flag was also never documented.
- Overall caching service refactor: use generics, reduce branching, add
discriminants for cache kinds for better type safety, type caching
events, improve readability, remove outdated docs, etc. Also refactor
and expand caching service tests.

In a multi-main setup, we have the following issue. The user's client
connects to main A and runs a test webhook, so main A starts listening
for a webhook call. A third-party service sends a request to the test
webhook URL. The request is forwarded by the load balancer to main B,
who is not listening for this webhook call. Therefore, the webhook call
is unhandled.
To start addressing this, cache test webhook registrations, using Redis
for queue mode and in-memory for regular mode. When the third-party
service sends a request to the test webhook URL, the request is
forwarded by the load balancer to main B, who fetches test webhooks from
the cache and, if it finds a match, executes the test webhook. This
should be transparent - test webhook behavior should remain the same as
so far.
Notes:
- Test webhook timeouts are not cached. A timeout is only relevant to
the process it was created in, so another process retrieving from Redis
a "foreign" timeout will be unable to act on it. A timeout also has
circular references, so `cache-manager-ioredis-yet` is unable to
serialize it.
- In a single-main scenario, the timeout remains in the single process
and is cleared on test webhook expiration, successful execution, and
manual cancellation - all as usual.
- In a multi-main scenario, we will need to have the process who
received the webhook call send a message to the process who created the
webhook directing this originating process to clear the timeout. This
will likely be implemented via execution lifecycle hooks and Redis
channel messages checking session ID. This implementation is out of
scope for this PR and will come next.
- Additional data in test webhooks is not cached. From what I can tell,
additional data is not needed for test webhooks to be executed.
Additional data also has circular references, so
`cache-manager-ioredis-yet` is unable to serialize it.
Follow-up to: #8155
also refactored the code to
1. stop passing around `scope === 'global'`, since this code can be used
only for changing globalRole.
2. leak less details when input validation fails.

This PR simplifies state in test webhooks so that it can be cached
easily. Caching this state will allow us to start using Redis for manual
webhooks, to support manual webhooks to work in multi-main setup.
- [x] Convert `workflowWebhooks` to a getter - no need to optimize for
deactivation
- [x] Remove array from value in `TestWebhooks.webhookUrls`
- [x] Consolidate `webhookUrls` and `registeredWebhooks`
## Summary
Fixes the issue that pinned data gets also used for production executions.

## Summary
When a workflow gets started via a Test-Webhook the pinned data does get

## Summary
A circular dependency between `WorkflowService` and
`ActiveWorkflowRunner` is sometimes causing `this.activeWorkflowRunner`
to be `undefined` in `WorkflowService`.
Breaking this circular dependency should hopefully fix this issue.

`tsc-alias` as of 1.8.7 is unable to resolve template strings in dynamic
imports. Since the module name mapper in Jest is able to, this issue is
hard to detect, hence the new lint rule `no-dynamic-import-template`.
This is for now specific to `@/` in the `cli` package - we can
generalize later if needed. Ideally we should contribute a fix upstream
when we have more time.

Since crypto-js was
[discontinued](1da3dabf93),
[we migrated all our backend encryption to native
crypto](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/pull/7556).
However I decided back then to not remove crypto-js just yet in
expressions, as I wanted to use `SubtleCrypto`. Unfortunately for that
to work, we'd need to make expressions async.
So, to get rid of `crypto-js`, I propose this interim solution.

In the case of a filesystem failure to rename the binary files as part
of the execution's cleanup process, the execution would fail to be saved
and would never finish. This catch prevents it.
## Summary
Whenever an execution is wrapping u to save the data, if it uses binary
data n8n will try to find possibly misallocated files and place them in
the right folder. If this process fails, the execution fails to finish.
Given the execution has already finished at this point, and we cannot
handle the binary data errors more gracefully, all we can do at this
point is log the message as it's a filesystem issue. The rest of the
execution saving process should remain as normal.

Add generic N8N_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT which controls how long n8n
process will wait for graceful exit before exitting forcefully. This
variables replaces the QUEUE_WORKER_TIMEOUT variable that was used for
worker process.
DEPRECATED: QUEUE_WORKER_TIMEOUT deprected
QUEUE_WORKER_TIMEOUT environment variable has been replaced with
N8N_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT.
If the process doesn't shutdown within a time limit, exit with error
code.
1. conceptually something timing out is an error.
2. on successful exit we close down the DB connection gracefully. On an
exit timeout we rather not do that, since it will wait for any active
connections to close and would possible block the exit.

We added ID-less workflow reporting at #8031, which has already produced
multiple reports coming from internal, enough info to tackle [this
story](https://linear.app/n8n/issue/PAY-1147). To prevent an
overwhelming number of reports from cloud, this PR removes the reporting
for now.
When setting up queue mode, it is easy to overlook that not exporting
Postgres env vars will default the worker to use sqlite, which will fail
during execution with a non-obvious error. Hence add warnings when
starting a worker with an incompatible DB type.
We're initializing the queue twice because of a [bad
merge](2c63474538).
No associated known bugs but no need to init the queue twice. We should
follow up by investigating if any pending bugs can be associated to
this.
