Current microflow name and backtrace as variable available

77

When you create some generic function, you might want to do some logging in case of an error. It would be handy if you have always available the following:

$callerMicroflowName
$currentMicroflowName
$microflowBacktrace

So you know the microflow that invokes this function or you have the complete backtrace from where the requests originates from. For now I have created a Java action, but it would be handy if this was in the platform.

Nice idea, would be handy to add in logging in case of errors.

Nice, currently using Java actions but having it as variables saves time.

You can use some of the Runtime API stuff for this maybe

 

var actionStack=ctx.getContext().getActionStack();
for(var i=0;i<actionStack.length;i++){
    try{
        com.mendix.core.Core.getLogger(ctx.toString()).info(actionStack[i].getActionName().toString());
    }catch(e){
        com.mendix.core.Core.getLogger(root.toString()).info(e.toString());
    }
}

Delivering e.g.

./
└─Nashorn.ivk_Editor_CMD_exec
  └─Nashorn.ivk_exec
    └─Unnamed-Action-6152

+1 Vote from me, I just ran into the same thing. I want to log the name of the microflow being executed.

Great idea - this is also very handy in case that the name of a microflow is changed.
