CrewAI Flow Infinite Loop - Steps Repeating Endlessly

General
1

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing instability with CrewAI Flow where certain steps are getting stuck in an infinite loop and repeating non-stop.

Issue Details:

  • Steps keep repeating even after progressing to the next stage

  • The flow doesn’t seem to exit properly from certain methods

  • This happens after I setup a new .venv

The “happens after I setup a new .venv” detail is probably the most useful clue here, that pattern usually points to a version mismatch rather than a flow logic bug. CrewAI’s loop behavior shifted around the LiteLLM transition (issue #1355 in the repo touches on related agent-loop symptoms), and a fresh venv often pulls a newer LiteLLM than the last one that worked. For anyone landing here with the same symptom: first thing to check is pip freeze | grep -E 'crewai|litellm' against your last working environment.

Hiba out of curiosity, did the loop hit on a specific @listen Step or across all of them?

“Interesting, I’ve seen similar loop issues tied to dependency mismatches rather than flow logic.
Did you compare your working env vs the new one (LiteLLM / CrewAI versions)?”
