How to get the full path of running workflow?

[imtrinity94]

I wish to print the full Category path of currently running WF from inside its scripting element.

[imtrinity94 · Accepted solution]

var currentWFName = workflow.name  ;

var WFCategories = Server.getAllWorkflowCategories(); 

for each (var WFCategory in WFCategories){ 

     for each (var WF in WFCategory.allWorkflows){ 

if(WF.name == currentWFName){

System.log(WF.workflowCategory.path + "/" + WF.name);

                       }

}

}

Slightly improved / simplified version where we get the Server to do the lookup

var id = workflow.currentWorkflow.id;
var wfInstance = Server.getWorkflowWithId(id);
var catObj = wfInstance.workflowCategory;
System.log(catObj.path + "/" + wfInstance.name);

Should be a little quicker

eoinbyrne​ - apart from being improved / simplified version, your code is also correct , which is not the case for the code provided by imtrinity94​

The problems in his code:

• workflow.name does not return the workflow name but the workflow token name
• it compares workflows by name, which doesn't work always; you can have multiple workflows with the same name in different categories
• it is very inefficient as it iterates over all workflows in the vRO instance

Thanks eoinbyrne and iiliev

iiliev Is there a way to get the workflow item name inside the same scriptable task? (For eg, item0 is a scriptable tasks with name = Rename a VM)
