Failed to deploy workflow - can't get error log

[paulo_emerique]

Hi guys, we're doing final preparation to start an Alfresco/Activiti deployment … I've been struggling to deploy advanced Activiti workflows, the issue is that I get this message when deploying from workflow console:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.workflow.WorkflowException: 01160073 Failed to deploy workflow definition

But can't get a more descriptive message. I tried to configure logging level (log4j.xml), and also tried configuring logging.properties following some info on jira.alfresco regarding activiti logging.

We're using Activiti plugin for Eclipse to design our workflows.

Note that we can sucessfully deploy workflows, but as we add details/redeploy, we hit the error mentioned above.

Thanks for any help!

I've also encountered that kind of problem. In my case the workaround is to restart tomcat - then I got full stack trace.
Although it's painful to restart whole server every time..

Also read this related topic: https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=42896  - that's another 'no error log problem' you can meet during workflow development.
