Workflow example is not working.

[sce9sc]

Expected Behavior

I run the workflow example but it did not work . The example seems incomplete.

Actual Behavior

components folder is missing and there is not "OrderProcessingWorkflow"

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

run the example as described.

PS One of the best projects I ever found . Thanks

After adding components folder and a redis config I got

== APP ==
== APP == > dapr-example-workflow@1.0.0 start
== APP == > npm run build && node dist/index.js
== APP ==
== APP ==
== APP == > dapr-example-workflow@1.0.0 build

The App process exited with error code: exit status 1

The config I used was

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: state-redis
  namespace: default
spec:
  type: state.redis
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: redisHost
    value: localhost:6379
  - name: redisPassword
    value: ""
  - name: actorStateStore
    value: "true"

Just realized that there is no server implementation in the example . Seems that is not currently ready and it is expected on version 3.3.0 + . Thanks

Hi @sce9sc, you are right. JS SDK only supports the management plane today, which means you could run a workflow (like https://github.com/Azure/dapr-workflows-aks-sample) independently, and use JS SDK to manage it. We are planning to roll out authoring capabilities in this release too!

Closing this issue as expected!

Workflow Authoring seems to be supported now (the authoring example works), but there's still no OrderProcessingWorkflow defined in this example (or elsewhere), so it fails to run as written.
