Steps to reproduce
- Create any shell script you want to trigger with this workflow. eg.
#!/bin/sh
printenv >> /tmp/nextcloud_script_trigger
Save it in a location where nextcloud can access it and make it executable.
- As nextcloud admin create a new run_script workflow that triggers on pretty much any event.

- Save the workflow.
- Create a file named
foo.txt. - Change the contents of the file by editing via nextcloud webinterface.
- Change the contents of the file by locally editing the file via sync-client.
- Assign a tag to
foo.txt touchthe file on a synched client.- Delete
foo.txtvia Webinterface or sync-client
Test with different regular expressions, make sure to only use lower-case ASCII characters in filenames so we can be sure that nextcloud doesn't trip over any “special characters”.
- filename matches
/^foo\.txt$/i(as in the example given by the web interface when creating a flow) - filename matches
foo\.txt(same as above but not case insensitive, though our testfile is explicitly lowercase only) - filename matches
foo.txt(With.as a wildcard, no dice) - filename is
foo.txt(Explicit and literal exact filename.) - filename matches
foo.*(to match anything beginning with foo…) - filename matches
.*(Doesn't trigger as well though we'd expect this one to trigger on literally any file since that matches everything.)
Expected behaviour
Upon change of a file named foo.txt the run_script flow should be triggered and successfully executed.
Actual behaviour
Nothing.
Workflow Script app
Workflow Script app version: (see apps admin page: /index.php/settings/apps)
Multiple Nextcloud 20.0.9.1: Workflow external scripts: 1.5.1
Nextcloud 21.0.1: Workflow external scripts: 1.5.0
To be honest, we never go this to work at all since run_script was introduced. So this is not a recent regression from our point of view, it never worked.

Are you using external storage, if yes which one: local/smb/sftp/...
Local storage only.
Are you using encryption: yes/no
Nextcloud E2EE: No.
TLS: Yes
Server log (data/nextcloud.log)
nextcloud.log doesn't log any events.
flow.log is constantly at 0 bytes no matter if flows are triggered (for example the “Automated tagging” flow) or run_script doesn't trigger.
Additional remarks
I've made sure that the script to be executed is not located within a group folder because of #38.
Testing the flow trigger system with “Automated tagging” does work to auto-add a tag upon change of a file. So we're really certain that all of these nextcloud installations are generally ok and they've been working fine otherwise.
Edit
- Added info on
nextcloud.logandflow.log. - Added another PHP version
- Clarified trigger configurations for filename matches and filename is.
Beitragsleitfaden
Erste Schritte
- Lies das ganze Issue und danach den Beitragsleitfaden des Projekts.
- Schreib ins Issue, dass du es übernimmst — das erspart doppelte Arbeit.
- Forke das Repository und arbeite in einem Branch.
- Öffne einen Pull Request, der die Issue-Nummer nennt.
Rechercherichtung
Beginne damit, den run_script-Workflow mit den im Issue beschriebenen file-change-, tag-, touch- und delete-Ereignissen unter Verwendung der aufgeführten regulären Ausdrücke zu reproduzieren. Verfolge die Behandlung des workflow_script-Triggers und überprüfe, ob das externe Skript ausgeführt wird. Als erledigt gilt dies, wenn ein passender Workflow für eine geänderte Datei wie foo.txt erfolgreich ausgeführt wird.
