[Solved] How to know if a workflow is running on a file ?

riogrande — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:51:20 GMT

Hello all, All is in the title, how to know if a workflow is running on a file ? I launch my workflow with a JS file, but I want to launch it only if I'm sure that there isn't already a workflow running.

Have a look at the file's details page.
You'll see a panel about the workflow instances bound to that file.
Now, you just have to see the code that hides behind this feature, and see how you can use it according to your needs.

good luck

Yes I see that, but no idea how to use it in my javascript.
Anyway I workaround and added a "workflowLock" status to my file, so if it's in a workflow, the status is set to 'true' and before the workflow ended the status is again set to 'false'.

Properly not the cleanest way to do that, but when I can avoid Java I do it 😕

Could be cool to have somethings like document.workflow.count()

You mean like document.activeWorkflows.count..?
