Error occurred in deployment step – moving a workflow project to a new SharePoint 2010 machine
你可以看 的solution
以下是我的探索:
Environment: Microsoft SharePoint 2010
当我们把一个sharepoint workflow project 从一台机器移植到另外一台机器的时候，当你deploy 的时候你会发现类似下面的错误：
Error 1 Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Failed to create workflow association 'WorkflowProject5 - Workflow1'. Cannot find SharePoint list with name "Workflow History" or GUID "bf404d65-7d02-4a2b-901a-2695eb96e2dd".
0 0 WorkflowProject5
下面的步骤可以repro 这个错误， 即使你不从别的机器上移植程序过来。
我们移植程序的时候，工程文件和workflow 的某些属性什么没有变呢？
1. open http://machinename/ create sub site from page, Site Actions ->New Site, input title name and sub site name, take 1234 as example, you will get http://machinename/1234/SitePages/Home.aspx
2. File|New|project, navigate to (visual C# or Visual basic) sharepoint |2010, select any workflow project type in the template.
3. In the followed wizard, in the page, below " what local site do you want to use for debugging ", input http://machinename/1234
4. The next couple of wizard pages leave the default settings.
5. Deploy the project.
Expect results: deploy success.
Actual results : deploy success.
6. delete the http://machinename/1234 site, from : Site actions->site settings, look for "Delete this site" under "Site Actions" group
7. Deploy the project again.
Expect results: deploy success.
Actual results : See the above error.
8. Set the site url of the project to a available site. let say it http://machinename/
9. Deploy the project.
Expect results: deploy success.
Actual results : See the above error.
-----------So how to correct the error ?----------
10. select the workflow project item in the solution explorer. navigate to its properties.
from History List property, we can re-enter to the sharepoint customization wizard (we can re-enter to this wizard from somewhere also), then go through it again.
11. deploy the project.
Expect results: deploy success.
Actual results : deploy success.
问题的关键在于，当你deploy 的时候，负责deploy 的程序会检查你所创建的工程的配置正不正确。当你过去设置association 的位置没有变，但是你的site url 变了时候，产生了不同步，从而导致了错误。
