The installed Versions: Development Environment: Windows 10, latest Composer version 2.0.11 PHP 8.0.3 Laravel Framework 8.33.1

The composer commands I needed to start with parameter --ignore-platform-reqs in order to ignore the 7.x requirement.

Then I'm using the "php artisan serve" to run on my local environment. And the latest Chrome Browser to start http://localhost:8000/workflows

Now I follow your video Tutorial. When I want to configure the HTML input, the dialog is not opening.

I have installed in a Laravel 9 environment that has a path 'domain/crm' that redirects to 'domain/crm/admin' once authenticated. I can launch the 'index.blade' as domain/crm/admin/workflows, and the URL for the CREATE button is domain/create. If I set the prefix value in config/workflow.php to admin, the URL for the CREATE button is now domain/crm/admin/admin/create.

What I have found, if I set the prefix value in config/workflow.php the domain and path (i.e. domain/crm) is added as a prefix as well as the config/workflow.php value as the URL, however if the is no config/workflow.php value then only the domain is added as a prefix.

Workaround is to replace blade occurances of {{ config(workflows,prefix) }} with {{ url ('/') }} in the blade files.

This is my composer.json

but when i install the42coders/workflows it give me error

You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require the42coders/workflows:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require the42coders/workflows:^2.1" if you know which you need

I've set up a basic observer workflow on the User model to trigger when it is updating. I trigger the update by modifying in Nova, similar to the demo video in the README.

It seems in the start() method of the Trigger, the $this->workflow variable is null:

the42coders\Workflows\Triggers;

$log = WorkflowLog::createHelper($this->workflow, $model, $this);

Digging into the database, it seems the trigger is referencing the wrong workflow_id (In my case, it was referencing a deleted Workflow (ID: 3) when it should have been referencing the only Workflow in the system (ID: 6) Therefore, this worked:

$log = WorkflowLog::createHelper(Workflow::find(6), $model, $this);

And the queue ran as expected.

My assumption is that the Workflow model needs a cascading delete?

Interesting package.

Lets say I want to implement multi-approver to a Blog Post. Where I need them to run it parallel. Then the flow will look something like this:

Would it be possible to use a parallel execution in this package? (called Parallel Gateway in BPMN 2.0 spec)

if not, any plans to support it?

Cheers

Looks like a nice package. I was reviewing the code, I noticed you allow prefixing the table names. The migrations only use the prefix on the up() method. When calling down via a rollback, you could end up dropping a different table. Kind of a critical issue.

{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create(config('workflows.db_prefix').'workflows', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('workflows');
    }
}

This merge request allow Tasks and Triggers to define their translations for themselves, instead of pulling them from the config file.

The default is still following the convention used within the package.

This allows 3rd party plugins/packages to add new triggers/tasks more easily.

This MR adds support for PHP 8.

In order to do this, an update to "barryvdh/laravel-dompdf" v0.9.0 has been necessary. The update doesn't break any functionality and the tests pass.

We are looking at building a form submission system, whereby it can have several steps (Workflow) and then going through a set of steps dependent on the values entered.

Is this possible within this package? From what I can see, it only applies to whole models without individualization to the model items.

addTrigger flow:

addNode - workflow.js:38664 dispatch - workflow.js:38961 (anonymous) - workflow.js:38262 (anonymous) - 1:220 ajax - workflow.js:27976 send - workflow.js:28454

index.blade.php and diagram.blade.php - awesome font icons not displaying (403 errors) .

workflow.css 6229, 6230, 6243, 6244, 6257 & 6258: url is currently missing path (domain/public/fonts...... and not domain/path/public/public/fonts........).

if WorkflowsServiceProvider.php: "DIR.'/../public/fonts' => public_path('public/fonts')" should be changed to "DIR.'/../fonts' => public_path('fonts'). Correct url would then be 'domain/path/public/fonts.........

If you create a blank project, and add the workflow module as per the instructions you will get a

Route [login] not defined

Might be nice to document a simple implementation of this...

Just a thought.

This is better suited to a discussion but is related to #21 and delaying a workflow that I hope to help implement. I note there does not seem to be a way to determine at what position a task is in the workflow e.g. If a workflow has 6 tasks, is it possible to know during a run of the workflow which particular task is in progress?

My logic is that if we implement a 'delay' task and know the position in a workflow, it could be a simple case of 'pausing' at that task, and when it resumes, we simply restart the workflow from that position.

At the moment, unless I am wrong, the workflow simply runs all tasks in the order in which they are added. This, again if I'm not mistaken, does not allow for re-ordering of tasks as they are run by add date, not their order on the builder.

I'm wondering about the feasibility of delaying a workflow? For example, wait one hour, then send an email, wait two days, send another email.

Would a custom trigger that calls itself at a later point in time be a potential solution?
