task not appearing when workflow is started from automation chain

jmdavid_8121 — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:20:31 GMT

I created a workflow in Studio that works well when triggered with the standard start button. I tried to trigger it with an event (document creation) binded to an automation chain with Workflow Context -> Start Workflow. The workflow is started but there is no task to assignee. I tried with Users and Groups -> Login As surrounding Start Workflow to see if there is any difference: still no task created.

What's wrong?

Thanks.

I've seen similar things happen on this machine. I've found that sometimes going back to the folders, refreshing them, and reloading the document works.

Other times, going to the Home screen works. The newly assigned task will appear under the "My Tasks" widget.

And, other times, I've had to log out and log back in.

Hello,

The browser shouldn't make a difference.
/> I just tested on the last HF ( 5.6.0-HF-06) and I manged to start the Serial Default workflow from a listener and have the first task correctly assigned. Can you re-test on this HF and if the bug is still present give us a scenario to reproduce it? Thx,

Hi,

Like beatrizspereza, I'm calling the start workflow from another workflow. 2nd workflow's running but with the system user. I've tried things like "Set Workflow Variable" with 'assignees' variable and @{CurrentUser} as value or "Users and Groups -> Login As", but without success.
/> How and when (before, after start?) assign the workflow task?

I'm working with the 5.6.0-HF-06 version.

Thanks

My colleague in 5.6.0-HF-07 version, had tested the "start workflow" operation at the creation of the document when a user click on a button to run a workflow.

Thanks for answer but my target platform is "Nuxeo DM 5.6 (NEW version)", like my colleague and there is nothing in my Automation Operations registry.

Thx, this is related to a Studio bug, it will be fixed for the next release, meanwhile like a workaround you can override the definition of this operation by overriding it from Automation Operations registry.

And for my initial problem, system assignation at the start of the workflow, the problem is solved by the 5.6.0-HF-07 version
