Error in tutorial: travelRequestVar not defined

Q&A
1

I’m following the tutorial at https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.6/getting-started-tutorial . I’m stuck at the “Run process with temporary forms” step. When I try to run the app, I get an error telling me that travelRequestVar is not defined.

It’s complaining about the travelRequestVar.userId = BonitaUsers.getProcessInstanceInitiator(apiAccessor, processInstanceId).id line added to the initTravelRequest() script.

The first part of the stack trace is:

– sorry about not formatting the block, but that makes it impossible to read :frowning:

Can someone point out what I missed and what I need to do to fix?

False alarm. Had to retrace my steps 3 times to figure out what I did wrong, but I found the missing piece.

Could you share with me what was the missing piece. I am facing with same problem like you. Thanks
