FlowDrop Workflow Specification 1.0-draft

Two dangling endpoints are two errors

The rule

Normative: this is the rule
  1. An edge whose source and target are both missing yields two errors, one for each endpoint, both at the same edge.{index} locator.
  2. The endpoints are judged independently, so neither failure suppresses the other.

What it means

A checker that stops at the first bad endpoint would report only one of two real problems. R8.a and R8.b are judged independently of each other, so an edge missing both endpoints earns both findings, not whichever is checked first.

Example

An edge naming a source and a target the workflow has neither:

An edge whose source and target both name no node
{ "id": "e1", "source": "x", "target": "y" }
The codes both findings carryrefused
["R8_EDGE_SOURCE_MISSING", "R8_EDGE_TARGET_MISSING"]
