move function doesn't trigger update rule

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hello,

In our workflow, we use the following structure :

Approved
\_ tmp

and the following script :

var sourceFile = document;
var sourceFolder = document.parent;
var targetFolder = space.parent;
var targetFile = targetFolder.childByNamePath(document.name);

if(targetFile == null)
{
        sourceFile.move(targetFolder);
}
else
{
        var targetFileWorkingCopy = targetFile.checkout();
   var content = sourceFile.properties['content'];
   targetFileWorkingCopy.properties['content'].write(content);
        targetFileWorkingCopy.checkin("",false);
        sourceFile.remove();
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

to either move or add a new version to a file in the 'Approved' directory. This script is triggered when a file entered the 'tmp' directory.

In the 'Approved' directory, we have 2 rules :

• For all items not matching '*.pdf' in the file name, convert to pdf in 'Approved', on Update.
• For all items matching '*.pdf' in the file name, send email to a group of users, on Update.

When the file 'toto.odt' is approved and doesn't exist in 'Approved', my first rule is not triggered.

If I use the 'Add content' link to add the same file in 'Approved', my first rule is triggered and triggers the second one.

I am using Alfresco Version :Labs - v3.0.0 (e dev @build-number@)

Thank you for your help.

Wanted behaviour obtained by using this script :

var sourceFile = document;
var sourceFolder = document.parent;
var targetFolder = space.parent;
var targetFile = targetFolder.childByNamePath(document.name);

if(targetFile == null)
{
        sourceFile.copy(targetFolder);
        sourceFile.remove();
}
else
{
        var targetFileWorkingCopy = targetFile.checkout();
        var content = sourceFile.properties['content'];
        targetFileWorkingCopy.properties['content'].write(content);
        targetFileWorkingCopy.checkin("",false);
        sourceFile.remove();
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and having those rules in 'Approved' :

• For any items not matching *.pdf, convert to pdf on Update
• For any items not matching *.pdf, convert to pdf on Inbound
• For any items matching *.pdf, send email to users on Update

I received an email the first time a document is approved and also when a new revision of the same document has been approved.
