Django viewflow Get flow in shell?

Question

Thanks to author project for this beautiful and helpful app, but I'm a novice and all work fine from demo frontend and nothing from the django code...so I kindly ask you: how the flow can be managed without frontend:

x, created =TestProcess.objects.get_or_create()
Out[1]: (<TestProcess: <Process 19> - NEW>, True)

# The process exist

In [12]: x.status
Out[12]: 'NEW'

# the status is correct

x.task_set.exists
Out[23]: <bound method BaseManager._get_queryset_methods.<locals>.create_method.<locals>.manager_method of <django.db.models.fields.related_descriptors.create_reverse_many_to_one_manager.<locals>.RelatedManager object at 0x7f0d917c1438>>

In my flow I've put:

class HellxoWorldFlow(Flow):
    start = (
        flow.Start(
            flow_views.CreateProcessView,
            fields=['text', 'wo_rif'],
            task_title=_('Start'))
        .Permission(auto_create=True)
        .Next(this.secondstep)
    )

but x.flow_class seems to be '', and a "x.next_flow_step" doesn't exist, how can I get the next step for this process? Thanks, BR

Answer 1

You made the .objects.get_or_create() call, that makes an empty process model, not attached to any flow class.

If you would like to start a flow programmatically, you need to use flow.StartFunction
