Motivation and Context
Workflow samples with agents failed silently when executors encountered errors. No error messages were displayed, no exceptions were thrown, making failures invisible to developers.
Description
Added error event handling to 13 workflow samples using agents. Two patterns applied:
For workflows using
InProcessExecution.StreamAsync()+WatchStreamAsync():For workflows as agents using
RunStreamingAsync():Updated samples:
03_AgentsInWorkflows,04_AgentWorkflowPatterns,05_MultiModelService,07_MixedWorkflowAgentsAndExecutors,08_WriterCriticWorkflowCustomAgentExecutors,FoundryAgent,GroupChatToolApproval,WorkflowAsAnAgent01_EdgeCondition,02_SwitchCase,03_MultiSelectionConcurrentErrors now display in red and cause proper exit codes instead of silent failures.
