Move an attached to a task document to another node

Greetings to the community, I am using alfresco 6.0.0 Community Edition and I would like to move a document attached to a task to another node on the complete event of the task.

I found from here https://community.alfresco.com/thread/204737-workflow-parallel-group-review-with-move about this "move" function so what I am currently doing is the following:

  1. Start the process
  2. Attach an item to the task that I have created using the

/tasks/{taskId}/items (POST) method of the alfresco REST API.

  1. Complete the task

The part of my bpmn where I move the file is below:

<activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
              <activiti:field name="script">
                 <activiti:string> 

                   java.lang.System.out.println(bpm_package.children.length);
                    for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++){
                     bpm_package.children.move("b162be92-fb36-44f0-83c1-4432b8261c5a");
                    }
                 </activiti:string>
              </activiti:field>
           </activiti:taskListener>

Where b162be92-fb36-44f0-83c1-4432b8261c5a is the node id of a folder I have created.

Unfortunately, when i complete this task I get the following error:

Node Type: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content, Node Aspects: [{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}auditable, {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}referenceable, {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}localized] 0.0 2018-11-15 15:43:24,936 ERROR [impl.interceptor.CommandContext] [http-apr-8080-exec-3] Error while closing command context org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Exception while invoking TaskListener: Exception while invoking TaskListener: 10150807 Failed to execute supplied script: 10150806 TypeError: Cannot find function move in object Node Type: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content, Node Aspects: [{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}auditable, {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}referenceable, {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}localized].

Could anyone shed light on this please? Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Solution

  • Solved

    The problem was that the move function expects a node element not the id I passed to it (String).

    Fixed code below:

    <activiti:taskListener event="complete" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.tasklistener.ScriptTaskListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
             <activiti:string> 
                for (var i = 0; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++){
                 var p = bpm_package;
                 var doc = p.children[i];
                 var myNode = initiatorhome.childByNamePath("foldertomove/testFolder"); <!-- the names of the nodes under the root directory where the file should be moved to-->
                 doc.move(myNode); 
                }
             </activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
       </activiti:taskListener>
