Question

Hey All Im wondering the best way to make a flow force a failure For instance if you have a task that fails and a task that runs a trigger for any failed toward the end of your flow the flow succeeds if the onfailure task succeeds However I want the OnFailure task to do what it needs to then make the entire flow fail

Hi < Roger Webb> so the question is how to force failure on the Flow level right

Kevin Kho · Answer

Look at the code example <https docs prefect io core concepts execution html triggers|here> I think you want `flow set reference task` and then you can make the task before the OnFailure task the reference task so the Flow level success will depend on that
