URLs

Should you ever need to get the URL – like for a test – for a task you can use Django’s reverse. All users follow a simple pattern consisting of the workflow name (lowercase) and task name, e.g.:

>>> from django.urls import reverse
>>> reverse("workflow_name:task_name", args=[task.pk])
'/url/to/workflow/task/1'

All task URLs need the .Task primary key as an argument. There are some special views that do not like the workflow detail and override view, e.g.:

>>> reverse('welcomeworkflow:start')
'/welcome/start/'
>>> reverse('welcomeworkflow:detail', args=[workflow.object.pk])
'/welcome/1/'
>>> reverse('welcomeworkflow:override', args=[workflow.object.pk])
'/welcome/1/override'

The first example does not need a primary key, since it is a StartView and the workflow is not created yet. The latter two examples are workflow related views. The need the WorkflowState primary key as an argument.

Note

The workflow detail view is also available via Workflow.get_absolute_url(). The override view is available via Workflow.get_override_url().
