imagine code like this, if the workflow
ApplyNetworkServicesWorkflow reaches its maximum attempts, will the != err code run then ?
If not how can I react to workflows having ran out of attempts ?
it might be counterintuitive that in the != err clause it runs NewContinueAsNewError but just ignore that part
Ty in advance
Hey Jonsve, you would want to look at the retryState as part of the ChildWorkflowExecutionError. Unfortunately that field is not exposed right now. I opened an issue to expose it Add accessors for ChildWorkflowExecutionError fields · Issue #1725 · temporalio/sdk-go · GitHub and it should be exposed in the next SDK release.

I saw it was merged to master nice, but how would I look at the childworflow execution error in the first place ?, do I cast the error ?
Something like this ?

I forget where I saw the advice, and can’t find it now, but at some point I read that workflow retries should be avoided in favor of retry logic within activity executions, which would simplify the child workflow options here and keep the actual retry semantics a bit closer to the bits that will fail.
Yes, see the docs on ExecuteChildWorkflow
