I'm attempting to run the code provided in this thread: Launch SharePoint 2013 Workflow w/Javascript

It's a function which starts a SP 2013 Workflow given input parameters of Item ID and Subscription ID.

I keep getting an error on this line:

var subscription = wfManager.getWorkflowSubscriptionService().getSubscription(subscriptionId);

I keep getting a TypeError error:

this.get_context is not a function

Any ideas?

I'm attempting to run this from a web part. I see that sp.js, sp.core.js, and sp.runtime.js all appear to load by default.

The only one which I had to load with a script tag is sp.workflowservices.js.

My startWorkflow() function runs upon clicking a link, so I don't think it's a matter of code executing before scripts are properly loaded.

  • Are you loading the sp.js, sp.core.js, and sp.runtime.js before you are calling get_context() function? Maybe you need to use: SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded Commented Jul 21, 2020 at 15:20

Probably you pass SP.AppContextSite instead of SP.ClientContext when create SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager object.

Below is demonstrated how to properly instantiate WorkflowServicesManager object:

var clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var workflowServicesManager = SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager.newObject(clientContext, clientContext.get_web());

  • Hmm...I checked over my code and that's exactly what I'm doing. Thank you for the advice though. Commented Jun 23, 2014 at 0:46
