Force Workflow failure on Error Path

Originally from ticket #547.

I have a workflow which runs a dataflow. The workflow has a normal path and an error path exiting the dataflow. The error path moves the input file into a failure folder. I would like the error path to end by causing the workflow to fail. This will allow me to schedule the workflow and configure the notification email to "Notify only on abnormal termination". How can I force a failure of the workflow?

  This is an excellent question. Do you mind if I put in it in the forum?

  We do not currently have a "raise error" action in the dataflow, but it looks like you have a need for it. We'll see what can be done in the future. What you can do for now is to move the notification inside the workflow itself. There is a "send mail" action that you can hook up and the end of your error path.
