Hi Dennis,

I believe only few can encounter this error because only few is using UAAS and Umbraco Forms custom workflow at the same time.

And yes, we are using Custom workflow for umbraco forms because we are saving the data to mailchimp.

I'm not sure if that was the issue but if you see on this screenshot its pointing to the workflow folder.

Now if you want to peek at my custom work flow code here it is.

public class ContactFormWorkflow : WorkflowType
    {
        public ContactFormWorkflow()
        {
            this.Id = new Guid("11117EB2-8D61-483C-A3DA-7850FCE05996"); // this is a custom id.
            this.Name = "Mailchimp - Contact Form";
            this.Description = "This workflow is currently exlusive for Contact form only, this will send data to mailchimp and will save into db.";
            this.Icon = "icon-message";

        }

        public override WorkflowExecutionStatus Execute(Record record, RecordEventArgs e)
        {
            var records = record.RecordFields.Values
                .Where(x => !(x.Field.Condition.Enabled && string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace((string)x.Values.FirstOrDefault())))
                .ToList();

            var formCategory = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower().Contains("enquiry"));
            var formName = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower() == "name");
            var formTitle = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower() == "title");
            var formPhone = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower() == "phone");
            var formMail = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower() == "email");
            var formMessage = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower().Contains("message"));
            var formAddress = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias.ToLower() == "address");

            var formCheckBox = records.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Field.FieldType.ToString().Contains("CheckBox"));
            bool parsedValue;
            var isCheckboxCheck = Boolean.TryParse(formCheckBox != null ? formCheckBox.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : "",
                out parsedValue) && parsedValue;
            var formCheckBoxVal = formCheckBox != null && isCheckboxCheck ? formCheckBox.Field.Caption.StripHtml() : "";

            const string defaultVal = "";
            var category = formCategory != null ? formCategory.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;
            var name = formName != null ? formName.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;
            var title = formTitle != null ? formTitle.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;
            var phone = formPhone != null ? formPhone.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;
            var mail = formMail != null ? formMail.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;
            var message = formMessage != null ? formMessage.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;
            var address = formAddress != null ? formAddress.Values.FirstOrDefault().ToString() : defaultVal;


            var db = ApplicationContext.Current.DatabaseContext.Database;
            var ipAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
            var pageUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer != null ? HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri : "";

            // Save to db
            var contact = new Contact
            {
                Category = category,
                Name = name,
                Title = title,
                Phone = phone,
                Mail = mail,
                Message = message,
                Address = address,
                IpAddress = ipAddress,
                CreatedDate = DateTime.Now,
                PageUrl = pageUrl
            };

            db.Insert(contact);

            // send to mailchimp
            MailchimpHelper.ContactFormSubscribe(mail, category, name, title, phone, message,
                address, formCheckBoxVal, ipAddress, pageUrl);

            if (isCheckboxCheck)
                MailchimpHelper.NewsletterFormSubscribe(mail, name, "", "", "", "", ipAddress, pageUrl);

            return WorkflowExecutionStatus.Completed;
        }

        public override List<Exception> ValidateSettings()
        {
            return new List<Exception>();
        }
    }

Thanks

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for the your reply. I would be fantastic if you could provide the steps, that you have done, so we can try to see if we can reproduce the same.

Did you do the save quickly (one after another), the reason for asking this is if you do, then the second save may lock it up.

Could you try to waits a longer time before hitting save again then it may not lock up the workflow.

Let me know how it´s goes.

Hi Dennis,

Looks like your theory is correct.

I managed to replicate it by pressing Ctrl + S repeatedly. It then popup an error message, plus it also deleted my workflow inside workflows folder.

That was tested in my local, so I believe this error can happen on dev and live site in only second of interval when saving.

I think I cant tell our content editors that they must "wait seconds" before saving again.

Please share me your thoughts. Thanks
