childWorkflowExecutionFailureInfo​

• Optional childWorkflowExecutionFailureInfo: null | IChildWorkflowExecutionFailureInfo

Failure childWorkflowExecutionFailureInfo

encodedAttributes​

• Optional encodedAttributes: null | IPayload

Alternative way to supply message and stack_trace and possibly other attributes, used for encryption of errors originating in user code which might contain sensitive information. The encoded_attributes Payload could represent any serializable object, e.g. JSON object or a Failure proto message.

SDK authors:

  • The SDK should provide a default encodeFailureAttributes and decodeFailureAttributes implementation that:

  • Uses a JSON object to represent { message, stack_trace }.

  • Overwrites the original message with "Encoded failure" to indicate that more information could be extracted.

  • Overwrites the original stack_trace with an empty string.

  • The resulting JSON object is converted to Payload using the default PayloadConverter and should be processed by the user-provided PayloadCodec

  • If there's demand, we could allow overriding the default SDK implementation to encode other opaque Failure attributes. (-- api-linter: core::0203::optional=disabled --)
