Solved problem from up there.. But still, i run this workflow, but script is not executed.. This should run and create/move/copy file, then end workflow..
What's wrong? Anybody?

<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="cust:copyFiles">

   <start-state name="start">

      <transition name="" to="end">
         <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
      <runas>admin</runas>
           <script>
      var dest = companyhome.childByNamePath("Reports");
      var file = dest.createFile("itWorks.html");
      file.save();
           </script>
         </action>
      </transition>
   </start-state>

<end-state name="end"/>
</process-definition>

try this


<script>
    <variable name="companyhome" access="read" />
    <expression>
         var dest = companyhome.childByNamePath("Reports");
         var file = dest.createFile("itWorks.html");
    </expression>
</script>

And it might be silly, but you please make sure that "Reports" folder does exist in your company home otherwise it will throw an error before creating the file.

It worked at the end.. Could be I had some comments in script part of workflowprocess..
I realized script is not parsed with breaks (enters), so, if you put comments on the first line of your script, alfresco will recognize whole script as 1 line, which would be in comment in this case..

e.g.

<script>
//comment
do.something();
</script> ‍‍‍‍

Alfresco reads this as:

//comment do.something();‍
