This fix addresses issue #351 where Execute Workflow Trigger and other trigger nodes were incorrectly treated as regular nodes, causing "disconnected node" errors during partial workflow updates. ## Changes **1. Created Shared Trigger Detection Utilities** - src/utils/node-type-utils.ts: - isTriggerNode(): Recognizes ALL trigger types using flexible pattern matching - isActivatableTrigger(): Returns false for executeWorkflowTrigger (not activatable) - getTriggerTypeDescription(): Human-readable trigger descriptions **2. Updated Workflow Validation** - src/services/n8n-validation.ts: - Replaced hardcoded webhookTypes Set with isTriggerNode() function - Added validation preventing activation of workflows with only executeWorkflowTrigger - Now recognizes 200+ trigger types across n8n packages **3. Updated Workflow Validator** - src/services/workflow-validator.ts: - Replaced inline trigger detection with shared isTriggerNode() function - Ensures consistency across all validation code paths **4. Comprehensive Tests** - tests/unit/utils/node-type-utils.test.ts: - Added 30+ tests for trigger detection functions - Validates all trigger types are recognized correctly - Confirms executeWorkflowTrigger is trigger but not activatable ## Impact Before: - Execute Workflow Trigger flagged as disconnected node - Schedule/email/polling triggers also rejected - Users forced to keep unnecessary webhook triggers After: - ALL trigger types recognized (executeWorkflowTrigger, scheduleTrigger, etc.) - No disconnected node errors for triggers - Clear error when activating workflow with only executeWorkflowTrigger - Future-proof (new triggers automatically supported) ## Testing - Build: ✅ Passes - Typecheck: ✅ Passes - Unit tests: ✅ All pass - Validation test: ✅ Trigger detection working correctly Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en
