In Nuxeo, How to detect that a document is already open by nuxeo drive.

steeve_gagnon — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 18:50:06 GMT

Hello,

In an automation script (javascript), I need to know if a Word document is currently open (by nuxeo drive) before doing operations on it. Is it possible to receive the same information in the webUI? Is it possible to receive the same information in a automation chain ?

Thank.

Hello,

I would say the best strategy is to configure Drive to lock the documents opened with Direct Edit

I don't see any "Drive related" property which can help you in automation chain/scripting. Maybe look what you can do with the available operations: https://explorer.nuxeo.com/nuxeo/site/distribution/Nuxeo%20Platform%20LTS%202019-10.10/listOperations (search "Drive")
