Description
I do not know whether it is a bug or "by design" but I would expect the OrchestrationState’s Output property to **"always"** be equal to the value of the **"return count;"** statement, even when using ContinueAsNew.
Here are the current behaviors (refer to the code snippet below from Service Fabric FunctionalTest.cs for context):
1. When we are **"not"** using ContinueAsNew, the Output property in the OrchestrationState is **"always equal"** to the value returned by the **“return count;”** statement.
2. When we are using ContinueAsNew, the Output property in the OrchestrationState is **"equal"** to the value of the input of the ContinueAsNew method, until the **"last execution"** at which point the Output property in the OrchestrationState is **"equal"** to the value returned by the **“return count;”** statement.
My expectation is the Output property in the OrchestrationState **"should always be equal"** to the value returned by the **“return count;”** statement.
Can you clarify whether it is a bug or if I am misunderstanding the use of the Output property in OrchestrationState when using ContinueAsNew?
```
public class GenerationBasicOrchestration : TaskOrchestration
{
public static int Result;
public override async Task RunTask(OrchestrationContext context, int numberOfGenerations)
{
var testTasks = context.CreateClient();
int count = await testTasks.IncrementGenerationCount();
numberOfGenerations--;
if (numberOfGenerations > 0)
{
// This OrchestrationState.Ouput property is set to numberOfGeneration
// when context.ContinueAsNew(numberOfGenerations) is being triggered
context.ContinueAsNew(numberOfGenerations);
}
Result = count;
// This OrchestrationState.Ouput property is set to count only when it is the last executions
// i.e. context.ContinueAsNew(numberOfGenerations) has not been triggered
return count;
}
}
```
