Issue triggering flows from app

brinkie

I'm trying to trigger flows that use my "when" card. I have defined it as follows:

"flow": { "triggers": [ { "id": "activity_changed", "title": { "en": "Activity changed", "nl": "Activiteit gewijzigd" }, "tokens": [ { "name": "activity", "title": { "en": "activity", "nl": "activiteit" } } ] } ] }

And I emit the event from app.js like this:

Homey.manager("flow").trigger("activity_changed", { activity: activity.name });

Somehow it seems my "when" card never gets triggered.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Don't see the issue right away. Try to add some Homey.log(). You can help yourself with https://github.com/matjaz/homey-youtube/blob/7fd97ef75b0890f6a9d0fe5dd69b600b014785e5/lib/util.js#L6

Your json and trigger looks good.When a paste those two lines into my own local app (changed activity.name in 'test') it works fine. 
Are you sure the trigger code is run and activity.name has a value?

Obviously I already output activity.name right after emitting the event and that just works.

And if you press 'ctr+r' in the flow editor and create and save a new flow with this card?

Check that activity.name != null.

The activity.name is written to the console right after emitting the event.

Triggers with no arguments will not go in the javascript code. Costed me an evening to figure this out. Maybe @Emile can explain why..?
