Merge not returning data in test mode

[geggeri]

Bug Description

A merge node does not return any items when testing a node after the merge. The merge uses the append option, but one of the appended branches never reaches the merge. When running the full workflow it works as expected, but when testing from within a node (after the merge), the merge does not return any items

To Reproduce

Create a workflow with 3 branches. Let the first branch end without result and let the two other branches return something.

Each of the branches should be connected to a merge node using the append option.

Expected behavior

To work as it does on a full run.
