The workflow console shows that the workflow defintion exists:
id: activiti$alfGroupReview:1:404 , name: activiti$alfGroupReview , title: Group Review And Approve Process , version: 1‍
The alfGroupReview workflow can be manually started and the site_<sitename>_collaborators group selected as the groupAssignee by the initiator. The workflow functions properly when manually started. Smiley Happy

Problem
When a document is dropped into the folder with the Rule it results in the following output in the log file Smiley Sad

So you trying to retrieve the "properties" property from a String object

Thanks for the response.
I'm new to Alfresco and the Activiti workflow engine and I have been basing my work on the samples so I haven't explicitly written any code that would reference a property named "properties". Your response caused me to take a harder look at how the Script calls the Workflow and I configured a new workflow only I used the lifecycle-process.bpmn20.xml.sample that ships with Alfresco. The lifecycle-process starts a workflow with a single person Review defined as follows:
Script assignment of workflow parameter:  workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = person;
Workflow use of parameter
<userTask id="reviewTask" name="Review Task" activiti:assignee="${bpm_assignee.properties.userName}" activiti:formKey="wf:activitiReviewTask">
‍‍

The workflow <userTask> for the alfGroupReview.bpmn20.xml that fails is defined as follows:
Script assignment of workflow parameter:  workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = "GROUP_" + siteName + "_collaborators";
Workflow use of parameter
<userTask id="reviewTask" name="Acquire Review Task" activiti:candidateGroups="${bpm_groupAssignee.properties.authorityName}" activiti:formKey="wf:activitiReviewTask">
‍‍
I suspect that it is the ${bpm_groupAssignee.properties.authorityName} that is causing the property "properties" error since the calling script is able to find the GROUP_testbed_collaborators group for use as the groupAssignee. Perhaps the workflow is unable to resolve ${bpm_groupAssignee.properties.authorityName} to the group name parameter. Or perhaps it resolves to GROUP_testbed_collaborators but that value is invalid.

The question comes down to this:
How do you pass the name of a Group as a parameter to a workflow so that it is resolved and used by the task?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, in your script you're assigning a string value to you bpm_groupAssignee variable:

workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = "GROUP_" + siteName + "_collaborators";

The same way you assign bpm_assignee you assigning a person object (not a string), you'll need to assign a group object to groupAssignee rather than assigning the group name string value.

For that purpose:

workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = people.getGroup( "GROUP_" + siteName + "_collaborators");
‍‍‍

Try it that way… it should work.

Adei

Adei,
Thank you so much!
You explanation made sense, I changed my script code and it now works properly.

I clearly need to spend more time understanding the script objects and Activiti objects and how to interface the two.

Thanks again!

Glad it works!

The best thing you can do about the workflow models is check out the workflowModel.xml file which defines the model. You can find it in alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model

all the properties used by the workflows such as bpm_assignee, bpm_groupAssignee, bpm_workflowDueDate, etc. are defined there…
