Asset coming as null when workflows triggered through Launcher

Avatar

Former Community Member

Hi,

    I tried to trigger the workflow through launcher by configuring when node(nt:unstructured) modified workflow need to be called(i.e. When metadata of an asset gets modified). I am getting Null Pointer Exception for asset. But If I triggered the workflow manually it is working fine.Please guide me to resolve this issue.

Regards,

Kirithi

Hi Scott,

            Thanks for your reply.It works for other node,in my use case only it is not working(Triggering workflow when metadata of an assets gets modified in Asset editor page).

            For the below scenario also it is not working

           cq:WorkflowNode = = "Title of WorkItem"(i.e. Assign to Approver) It is not triggering my custom workflow

Can you use other nodes? 

I have not seen issues using Workflow Launcher. It works for me as described here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/Workflows.html

(see the Using Workflow Launcher).

If its only this type of node - there may be a bug.
