Describe the problem/error/question
I am trying to implement error handling in my flow. I took the database offline and in the postgres node I get an error:
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND some-postgres
Great as expected.
My on Error options is set to “Continue (using error output)”:
Therefore the postgres node has two outputs, success and error. In this case I would expect it to go to the error side of the flow. But it always go to the success part of it as the image shows.
Questions
1) Am i doing anything wrong? is this a bug?
2) I want to answer to webhook based on the database answer. Is there a better a approach?
