problem Backoffice action button

[Former Member]

Hi, I'm having problems when I try to add a new action in backoffice.

I'm using hybris 6.6. The new action is called 'GenerateReportAction'.

This is my definition.xml that is placed in /bacoffice/resources/widgets/actions/generatereportaction

     <action-definition id="com.hybris.cockpiting.action.sendregistrationinvite"
                    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.hybris.com/schema/cockpitng/action-definition.xsd">
 
     <name>Generate report</name>
     <description>Generate a new report</description>
     <author>***</author>
     <version>0.1</version>
 
     <actionClassName>com.<company>.backoffice.actions.GenerateReportAction</actionClassName>
 
     <inputType>java.lang.Object</inputType>
     <outputType>java.lang.Object</outputType>
 
     <!--<iconUri>icons/send_registration_invite.png</iconUri>
     <iconDisabledUri>icons/send_registration_invite_disabled.png</iconDisabledUri>-->
 </action-definition>

This is my new action class file. At this momen, this file is in /backoffice/src/com/ (company)/backoffice/actions/GenerateReportAction.java

 package com.<company>.backoffice.actions;
 
 
 import com.hybris.cockpitng.actions.ActionContext;
 import com.hybris.cockpitng.actions.ActionResult;
 import com.hybris.cockpitng.actions.CockpitAction;
 import org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox;
 
 
 public class GenerateReportAction implements CockpitAction<Object, Object> {
 
     @Override
     public ActionResult<Object> perform(final ActionContext<Object> ctx) {
         ActionResult<Object> result = null;
         final Object data = ctx.getData();
         if (data != null) {
             result = new ActionResult<Object>(ActionResult.SUCCESS, ctx.getLabel("action.generateSeoReport.confirm", new Object[]{data}));
         } else {
             result = new ActionResult<Object>(ActionResult.ERROR);
         }
         Messagebox.show(result.getData() + " (" + result.getResultCode() + ")");
 
         return result;
     }
 
     @Override
     public boolean canPerform(final ActionContext<Object> ctx) {
         final Object data = ctx.getData();
         return (data instanceof String) && (!((String) data).isEmpty());
     }
 
     @Override
     public boolean needsConfirmation(final ActionContext<Object> ctx) {
         return true;
     }
 
     @Override
     public String getConfirmationMessage(final ActionContext<Object> ctx) {
         return ctx.getLabel("action.generateSeoReport.sent");
     }
 }

And at the end, I added this code in the (backofficeExtension)-backoffice-config.xml

 <context merge-by="module" type="CustomReport" component="listviewactions">
         <y:actions xmlns:y="http://www.hybris.com/cockpit/config/hybris">
             <y:group qualifier="common">
                 <y:label>actiongroup.common</y:label>
                 <y:action action-id="com.<company>.backoffice.actions.GenerateReportAction" property="selectedObjects" />
                 <y:action action-id="com.hybris.cockpitng.action.delete" property="selectedObjects" triggerOnKeys="#del"/>
                 <y:action action-id="com.hybris.cockpitng.action.create" property="pageable.typeCode" />
                 <y:action action-id="com.hybris.cockpitng.listview.action.export.csv" property="exportColumnsAndData"/>
             </y:group>
         </y:actions>
     </context>
 

Whe I go to that CustomReport listView, I can see in console a warning saying "WARN [hybrisHTTP5] [Action] could not find action definition for code [com.(company).backoffice.actions.GenerateReportAction]

What is wrong? Is needed a iconUri in the dfinition to be able to see the button?

Thank you

Change the action ID in your backoffice-config.xml to the one you declared in your definition.xml .

It is unable to find an action with that id declared in the configuration.xml file.

Hi,

As far as I remember you need to use in the backoffice config's "action-id" the "id" attribute value of the action-definition tag within the definition.xml. Now you have there this:

  <action-definition id="com.hybris.cockpiting.action.sendregistrationinvite"...
