How to get past approval in Flow Designer when running a test

[riskay123]

I am just starting to work in Flow Designer and I have created my first flow that contains a few approvals. This flow is associated with a catalog item. 

When I submit the order form, the flow routes the approval to the approvers and when they approve the required record fields update and then a catalog task should trigger but is not so I am trying to troubleshoot this.

How do I run the Test in flow designer but get it past the approval stage so I can try to see what the problem is further down the flow? When I run the test it goes through the steps but gets to the approval step and is then "waiting". I need to be able to get past this for the flow test to continue till it gets to the point where it breaks. 

Thanks in advance

Having the same issue. Did you ever figure out a resolution?

I figured this out and figured someone would want the answer.

When your flow stops for Approval, it will add a new group of approvers to the RITM you used for the test.  Go into that record (which you can get to from the details on the waiting action).   And approve the RITM.  After that the test will proceed.  

Side note, unrelated, don't accidentally click the "Wait" check box on a step either.   Hope this helps the next poor unsuspecting soul.   🙂
