Fix step stack trace propogation and refactor e2e error tests #720

pranaygp · 2026-01-03T03:48:26Z

Summary

Generates inline sourcemaps for step bundles and propagates stack track to upstream workflow FatalError
Add e2e tests to ensure step source maps and stack traces and propagated correctly
- NOTE: Different frameworks and runtime (build/dev/vercel) have varying degrees of support for this. The utils.ts file includes specific checks to change the test behavior based on the context. It's pretty ugly but will attempt to fix this in future PRs to be consistent. Atleast this PR is an improvement over no stack trace propagation at all
Refactor the various error e2e tests into a few cleaner error e2e tests with more clear expectations:
- error propagation - workflow errors (nested, cross-file) and step errors (basic, cross-file)
- retry behavior - regular Error, FatalError, RetryableError, maxRetries=0
- catchability - FatalError.is() detection

Closes #310

Pull request overview

This PR refactors error handling end-to-end tests by breaking up consolidated tests into 9 individual, isolated tests organized into semantic groups. The restructuring improves test debuggability and maintainability through clearer organization using nested describe blocks and consistent naming conventions.

Breaks up 3 consolidated error workflow tests into 9 focused individual tests
Organizes tests into 3 semantic groups: error propagation (workflow/step errors), retry behavior (Error/FatalError/RetryableError/maxRetries), and catchability (FatalError.is())
Adds helper functions in helpers.ts to support cross-file error testing

Copilot reviewed 3 out of 3 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File	Description
workbench/example/workflows/helpers.ts	Adds new helper functions and documentation for testing cross-file error propagation in both workflow and step contexts
workbench/example/workflows/99_e2e.ts	Removes old consolidated error test workflows and adds 9 new focused error test workflows with consistent naming and clear documentation
packages/core/e2e/e2e.test.ts	Restructures error handling tests into nested describe blocks with individual test cases, replacing 3 consolidated tests with 9 specific tests

Step error workflows now catch the error and return message/stack, making assertions cleaner. Tests verify both: - Workflow return value (caught error message) - CLI step result (original stack with function names) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

packages/core/src/runtime/step-handler.ts

              correlationId: stepId,
              eventData: {
                error: errorMessage,
+                stack: step.error?.stack,


pretty much a noop here - it's just relevant later for event sourcing

packages/builders/src/base-builder.ts

+      // Steps execute in Node.js context and inline sourcemaps ensure we get
+      // meaningful stack traces with proper file names and line numbers when errors
+      // occur in deeply nested function calls across multiple files.
+      sourcemap: 'inline',


This is the only change that gives me a tiny bit of pause - does this affect performance? It'd be nice to take a quick look at bundle times and see if it's relevant, given we already have complaints about bundling/discovery time, and the caching PR from JJ was reverted recently

the perf issues were primarily happening in the "discovering workflows/steps" bit - which is not the same as this esbuild.

This shouldn't meaningfully affect benchmarking yet, but we probably should start benchmarking build times soon too @ijjk as you dig deeper into that
