trying to create a simple-workflow action

[pchoe]

I am trying to create a simple-workflow action with javascript.  I have the following javascript so far:

var workflow = actions.create("simple-workflow");

if(!document.hasAspect("app:simpleworkflow")){
   document.addAspect("app:simpleworkflow");
}
document.properties.approveStep = "Approve";
document.properties.approveMove = "true";
document.properties.approveFolder = "workspace://SpacesStore/xxxxxxx"
   
document.properties.rejectStep = "Reject";
document.properties.rejectMove = "true";
document.properties.rejectFolder = "workspace://SpacesStore/xxxxxxx";
document.save();
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] = document.name;
var poolGroup = people.getGroup("GROUP_xxxxx");
workflow.parameters["bpm:groupAssignee"] = poolGroup;
var futureDate = new Date(); futureDate.setDate(futureDate.getDate() + 1);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = futureDate;
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "activiti$activitiReviewPooled";
workflow.execute(document); 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The problem that I am having is that I get the following error when trying to execute the workflow:

Caused by: org.alfresco.service.cmr.rule.RuleServiceException: 08180227 A value for the mandatory parameter approve-step has not been set on the rule item simple-workflow

How can I set the mandatory parameters for the rule item simple-workflow?

[mitpatoliya]

The one potential problem which I see is the properties which you adding are part of aspect so it should be set as follow.

var props = new Array(1);
props[app:approveStep]="Approve";
document.addAspect("app:simpleworkflow", props);

Thanks for replying:

I tried what you suggested, but I still get the same error.

Just an FYI:
The original code also set the properties values also.

But that will not set those properties as part of aspect.
Actually there is slight difference in both.
