Troubleshooting Guide

If you're experiencing any issues with Logic Apps Designer, please follow the steps below to help us investigate the issue as well as mitigate the issue for you.

General mitigation steps

Fallback to legacy designer

Our current main method of mitigation is to fall back to the now legacy version of Designer. This can be done by using the following URL to navigate to your Logic App. This will hopefully allow you to continue working while we investigate your issue.

Link to access legacy designer

note

The fallback URL is not a permanent feature, and will be removed once we reach a point of higher stability.

If the issue persists even when using the legacy designer, please make note of this when reporting the issue as it may be a backend issue that we will need to handle differently.

Submitting an issue

All of our issues are logged publicly over on our GitHub Issues page. Our development team checks these daily and will respond to them as soon as we are available.

Before you submit an issue, please check to see if there is already an issue open for your problem. If there is, please add a comment to the issue with any additional information you have. We also have a Known Issues section pinned at the top of our issues page for frequent issues.

If you determine your issue is unique, please submit a new issue and start collecting the information requested in the issue template.

Note on releases

We release new versions of Logic Apps Designer every 2 weeks. Depending on where we are in our current cycle when you submit your issue, it may take up to 2 weeks for us to release a fix for your issue after it is complete. We will do our best to mitigate your issue as soon as possible, and if the issue is severe enough we will potentially release a hotfix.

Providing your workflow

If you are experiencing issues with a specific workflow, please provide the workflow definition if you are able. We understand that some workflows may contain sensitive information, so please remove any sensitive information before providing the workflow definition. If you are unable to provide the workflow definition, please provide a description or screenshots of the workflow and any important actions or connectors you think may be causing the issue.

Collecting console errors

Providing console errors are very helpful for our engineers to quickly pinpoint the source of an issue. To collect console errors, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open the developer tools in your browser with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I (Win) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac)
  2. Select the Console tab
  3. If you see any errors, you can right-click on the error and select Save as... to save the error to a text file
  4. Otherwise you can also copy/paste as needed

Collecting network logs in a HAR file

If you are experiencing issues with the designer loading, or with any network requests, collecting a HAR file will help us investigate the issue. To collect a HAR file, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open the developer tools in your browser with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I (Win) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac)
  2. Select the Network tab
  3. Refresh the page and reproduce the issue
  4. Once you have reproduced the issue, right-click anywhere in the grid of network requests, select Save as HAR with Content, and save the file to your computer
  5. Your HAR file is now ready to be sent
Warning on sensitive information

These network logs may contain sensitive information, so please do not share them within GitHub issues. If an engineer requests them, please send them via email. (Should be supplied when requesting the HAR)

Finding your session ID or portal extension version

To get your session ID or currently active portal version follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to a workflow
  2. Open the Azure monitoring tools with Ctrl+Alt+D (Win) or Ctrl+Opt+D (Mac)
  3. In the bottom right of the designer there should be a yellow box
  4. You will find your session ID near the top of the list next to Session ID:
  5. To get your portal extension version find the line Loaded extensions: # and click on Details
  6. You will find your version next to the line that says Microsoft_Azure_EMA:
