Re: How do I ensure fiber does not stop on error?

Place a Failure catch block before the HTTP request block.

I have a very simple flow - when I receive a notification (from WhatsApp), I send a HTTP request. This works fine, but occasionally, there’s an error like this: android.system.gaiexception android_getaddrinfo failed eai_nodata

This is fine, except that it stops the fiber and I need to manually restart it. How do I automatically make it restart?

Thank you.

1. It is possible to only fork once? Just like in Flow Beginning Blocks "allow parallel launches".

I experienced a duplicate fork "sometimes", I checked the flow, I can't find the reason.

2. Is there a block or function that checked the "number of fork running"? Just like the [STOP (4)], I want the (4) to show in notification.
3. How to search the example flow of "The Developer" in the community? Can I search "Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist" & subscribe?

1. There's no built-in way, but easily done using a Fiber stopped block to check if a prior Fiber URI is still running running.
2. No. Such a number would be useless for anything but display purposes since it could be out of date, since new Fibers could be started, at any time.
3. It's currently not possible to search by author. If you find a flow by the user then click the "More by <name>" to all their uploads, e.g. for my flow first search for "App start inspect": https://llamalab.com/automate/community/?q=app+start+inspect

1. Thanks, I didn't realized that it could be done that way. Thanks again.

2. That number is not useless it is a very important part of the automation & monitoring. Scenario: you made a flow with fork & tested it many times & decided to finalize it & run it in the background, many days pass by & you notice its not working well & the data gathered are incorrect, when you open the flow list you noticed [ STOP (12) ], you only expect (2). Maybe it's hard to do it, just forget it.

2. Try using the the Content query block with Content URI=Flow URI and Columns=fiber_count

2. Thank you it works.  Is there a block that detect the change in fiber_count? I try the Content Changed block, it"s not working for me or I don't know how to use it.

No.
