Why?????

Because you're on the wrong tier. Workflows are queryable on the Repository tier (/alfresco web app) not the Web tier (/share web app).

I write dashlet, for Alfresco Share and I use this code

 var works = workflow.getCompletedTasks();
‍‍

to receive comleted tasks

I put it in d:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\ourTasksDashlet
and if I put it in d:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\ourTasksDashlet won't be visible in Share

Probably I haven't correctly understood where, it is particularly necessary to put dashlet

You need to look at how the dashlets that ship with Share work. The Repository tier (/alfresco) contains data webscripts that serve JSON. This JSON is then consumed by the Web tier (/share) to display the dashlet UI.

You can think of Repository = database and Web = UI if that helps.
