Fail Parent

In some situations, you need to fail a job when one of its children fail.
The pattern to solve this requirement consists on using failParentOnFailure option.
const flow = new FlowProducer({ connection });
const originalTree = await flow.add({
name: 'root-job',
queueName: 'topQueueName',
data: {},
children: [
{
name,
data: { idx: 0, foo: 'bar' },
queueName: 'childrenQueueName',
opts: { failParentOnFailure: true },
children: [
{
name,
data: { idx: 1, foo: 'bah' },
queueName: 'grandChildrenQueueName',
opts: { failParentOnFailure: true },
},
{
name,
data: { idx: 2, foo: 'baz' },
queueName: 'grandChildrenQueueName',
},
],
},
{
name,
data: { idx: 3, foo: 'foo' },
queueName: 'childrenQueueName',
},
],
});
As soon as a child with this option fails, the parent job will be moved to failed state. This option will be validated recursively, so a grandparent could be failed and so on.
