Issue
- I cannot save a workflow, I get error "Please enter valid content", possibly because there is something wrong in the workflow xml syntax.
- How can I get more specific information about what could be wrong the workflow definition?
Resolution
- go to Control Panel/Server Administration/Log Levels/click the + button
- for Logger Name give this: com.liferay.portal.workflow.kaleo.designer.web.internal.portlet.action.BaseKaleoDesignerMVCActionCommand
- for Log Level, select WARN (or ALL, or DEBUG)
- then test again and a more detailed exception should be logged in the Tomcat console (Liferay logs)
