Hi,

 

I try to use the default template for my workflow notifications but I get a 500 error code

 

The notification works if I use these folowings :

var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
 mail.parameters.subject = "Adhoc Task " + execution.getVariable('bpm_workflowDescription');
mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
mail.parameters.text = "It's done";
mail.execute(bpm_package);

However, I get a 500 error code when I use this :

var mail = actions.create("mail");

mail.parameters.to = initiator.properties.email;
mail.parameters.template =companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Email Templates/Workflow Notification/wf-email.html.ftl");
var templateArgs = new Array();
templateArgs['workflowTitle'] = "workflowTitle";
var templateModel = new Array();
templateModel['args'] = templateArgs;
mail.parameters.template_model = templateModel;  
//mail.parameters.text = "";
mail.parameters.subject = "Adhoc Task " + execution.getVariable('bpm_workflowDescription');
mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
mail.execute(bpm_package);

The log :

 2018-09-07 08:18:19,970  DEBUG [repo.jscript.ScriptLogger] [http-bio-8080-exec-26] Returning 500 status code

 

When I add this :

logger.log("Template : " + companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Email Templates/Workflow Notification/wf-email.html.ftl"));

logger.log("Template_Data : " + companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary"));

I get :

Template : null

Template_Data : null

Thanks in advance

If you don't already have the JavaScript Console installed you should install it, then copy-and-paste this code into it. Change references to "execution" to hardcoded values for test purposes, then run it and see what happens.

When I run your code in the JS console it successfully find the wf-email.html.ftl template.

Assuming that works for you, the next step might then be to run this locally with the JavaScript Debugger enabled in log4j.properties. When you start Tomcat that will launch a little GUI that you can use to debug the JavaScript getting executed in your process. That might better enable you to see what's going on.
