Airflow 3 operator_extra_links do not appear on failed tasks

[tomchm]

Apache Airflow version

3.1.1

If "Other Airflow 2/3 version" selected, which one?

No response

What happened?

If a task fails, it seems that the operator_extra_links are not evaluated and pushed via xcoms. Therefore, buttons do not appear for failed tasks which was quite a useful feature in Airflow 2.

What you think should happen instead?

Airflow 2 buttons appeared regardless of the state of the task. This was useful for linking to debugging dashboards or other interactions.

How to reproduce

First, create a task that has an operator_extra_links defined on it. Then either cause the task to fail by having it throw an exception or manually mark its status as failed via the Airflow UI.

Good shout, it should be supported now if its done in v2 as well.

I also miss not having the buttons while the task is running. I know that the change to create the buttons in the worker via xcoms was for safety purposes, but it would be really nice to have some kind of static button option that is always displayed.
