WorkItem changing status

0
Michele Pegoraro (1.8k●14●118●103) | asked Jul 14 '09, 7:25 a.m.
Hi, I'm trying to change a WorkItem status using a client side follow-up plugin. I get the working copy, set the action and save but no action seems to be triggered. I also try insert another modify action like modifing the description and it runs correctly.

This is my code: 

String azione = "Start Working";

IWorkItemClient client = (IWorkItemClient)repo.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager WCManager = client.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();

WCManager.connect(wiHandle, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);

WorkItemWorkingCopy wiCopy = WCManager.getWorkingCopy(wiHandle);

String oldContent = wiCopy.getWorkItem().getHTMLDescription().toString();

wiCopy.getWorkItem().setHTMLDescription(XMLString.createFromPlainText(oldContent+";CIAOO"));

wiCopy.setWorkflowAction(azione);

String out = wiCopy.getWorkflowAction();

IDetailedStatus status = wiCopy.save(monitor);

WCManager.disconnect(wiHandle);


I also get the status result of save operation and it gives me OK.
Can I have some help? What is my error?
Thanks.

This shows a state change in a server follow up action: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/resolve-parent-if-all-children-are-resolved-participant/ the code in the client should be similar. There are several client API examples on the blog.
Here is the link for how to trigger a build from a state change: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2016/07/15/build-on-state-change-work-item-save-participant/

Hi Marcel, thank you for your answer.
Really, I would have never thought that String as input parameter of getWorkflowAction method was a conversion from Id. I really had not understood. Thank you very much.

Hi
You have to pass the id of an action to the workingcopy. To get the set of possible action ids for the current state of a work item, you can use IWorkItemClient#findWorkflowInfo and then WorkflowInfo#getActionIds. Passing one of these ids to the workingcopy should transition the workflow the to end state of that action (which can be accessed programatically using WorklfowInfo#getActionResultState.

I've notice that it currently does something, because if I try to set action Resolve from In Progress status (referring to Eclipse Way Default workflow) it moves work item state to New instead of Resolved.
Any help?
