Any reason to my error trigger not being triggered?

I am trying to make my workflows to send me e-mail in case of any error.

I produced an error generating a date failure, as below


And there is my error workflow:

For some reason, my error workflow is not triggered when I test the workflow that produces the error. Am I missing something? I configured the workflow that produces error to report to it:

Thanks a lot and regards
