How to manually invoke failure of a workflow/task?

[mardonner]

Hey,
coming from python I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around orquesta workflow definitions, loops and so on.

Example:
I construct and publish a variable in my first task. Then, in the second task, I want to compare the value with an expected value.
How do I make the second task fail, if the value is not equal to the expected value?
Basically, if condition true, continue with next task, else raise error and stop.

You can use the when clause to test the variables and call do: fail. https://docs.stackstorm.com/orquesta/languages/orquesta.html#task-transition-model
