crash

Stops the current pipeline process with a fatal log message.

Halts execution and writes a fatal error log. The message supports interpolation functions, so you can include error details and metadata, which makes this processor useful for detecting unhandled errors during development and testing.

# Config fields, showing default values
processor:
  label: ""
  crash: "" # No default (required)

Examples

Crash on error

Write a fatal message that captures which processor failed and the underlying error, then stop the process.

processor:
  crash: "Processor ${!error_source_label()} failed due to: ${!error()}"

Static message

Stop the process with a fixed message when this processor is reached.

processor:
  crash: "reached an unexpected branch"
