[Zope-CMF] Workflow not found, problem with doActionFor()

[Florent Guillaume]

In article <7CDD7B94357FD5119E800002A537C46E2306C9@s5-ccr-r1.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca> you write:

This should BTW read:

  try:
    parent.invokeFactory(obj.getPortalTypeName(),id) # important
  except:
    print 'Could not create '+str(parent.getPhysicalPath()+( str(id), ))
  else:
    newobj = getattr(context, id) # simpler
    if ( review_state == 'published' ):
      context.portal_workflow.doActionFor(newobj, 'publish')

> Problem is, I keep being told that the requested workflow definition was not

If the object is already 'published', I guess there is no 'publish'
action available...

If that's not the problem, make sure to check in what state your object and its
portal_type really is (you can do that from the Workflow tab in the ZMI).
