I need to call the Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage function before starting a long running Share document library custom action.
I've tried to pass the wait parameter to the generic action as follows:

   Alfresco.DocumentList.prototype.onActionStartWorkflows = function DL_onActionStartWorkflows(file)   {
       this.modules.actions.genericAction(
      {
         success:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.start-workflows.success", file.displayName)
         },
         failure:
         {
            message: this.msg("message.start-workflows.failure", file.displayName)
         },
         webscript:
         {
            name: "start-workflows/site/{site}/{container}",
            method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST
         },
    wait:
    {
       message: this.msg("message.start-workflows.please-wait")
    },
         params:
         {
            site: this.options.siteId,
            container: this.options.containerId
         },
         config:
         {
            requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON,
            dataObj:
            {
               nodeRefs: [file.nodeRef]
            }
         }
      });
   };
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

the action is correctly executed but no message is shown.
If I try to call the Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage in the action script:

Alfresco.util.PopupManager.displayMessage(
{
    text: "Starting workflow, please wait"
});
‍‍‍‍‍

the script fails to execute with no log messages so I can't figure the reason.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Looking at the definition of genericAction in modules/documentlibrary/doclib-actions.js on line 227 (CE 4.0.b) it only supports specifying a message as in your first sample. Should be easy to debug here (using Firebug or some other app) and see why it is not picking up your message.
