Initialize and run workflows

Initialize a project with a specific workflow:

spryker-sdk init:sdk:project --workflow={workflowName}

If the project was initialized, it’s limited to the workflows specified during initialization.

Add a workflow to an initialized project:

{PROJECT_FOLDER}/.ssdk/settings

# {projectDir}/.ssdk/settings
project_key: e9abab71-59f3-e9ff-468c-7a6d28e10724
workflow:
    - app # app workflow

Run a workflow:

spryker-sdk sdk:workflow:run {workflowName}

Two identical top-level workflows can’t run inside the same project.

Workflow commands

• List all available workflows:

spryker-sdk sdk:workflow:list

• Generate an SVG image for a specific workflow:

spryker-sdk sdk:workflow:show {workflowName}

• Initialize project settings with a workflow:

spryker-sdk sdk:init:project --workflow={workflowName} --workflow={workflowName}

• Run the workflow process:

spryker-sdk sdk:workflow:run {workflowName}

Workflows configuration reference

In the SDK directory, the workflows are defined in the workflow YAML files, located either in config/packages, or in the configuration of extension bundles.

See the basic workflow documentation in the Symfony docs.

Additionally, you can configure and extend the workflow behavior by providing some specific metadata options:

• transitionResolver: sdk:workflow:run. The service should implement \SprykerSdk\SdkContracts\Workflow\TransitionResolverInterface as shown in the example workflow definition.
• allowToFail: true: sdk:workflow:run. Sets the next place if task failed.
• re-run: true: sdk:workflow:run. Runs the workflow multiple times when the current one has finished.
• run: single: sdk:workflow:run. Runs only a single transition and exits. If this setting is omitted, the task runs available transitions one by one, asking which one to run if multiple possible variants exist.
• before: service_name. The service service_name should implement \SprykerSdk\Sdk\Extension\Dependency\Event\WorkflowEventHandlerInterface and is called before the transition occurs.
• after: service_name. The service service_name should implement \SprykerSdk\Sdk\Extension\Dependency\Event\WorkflowEventHandlerInterface and is called after the transition occurs.
• guard: service_name. The service service_name should implement \SprykerSdk\Sdk\Extension\Dependency\Event\WorkflowGuardEventHandlerInterface and is called to determine if the transition is available.
• task: task_name. The task task_name is executed inside the transition, and the transition can stop depending on its result.
• workflowBefore: workflow_name. The workflow workflow_name runs inside the transition, and should end before proceeding to the task execution.
• workflowAfter: workflow_name. The workflow workflow_name runs inside the transition after the task is executed and should end before finishing the transition.
