NAME

Workflow::Action::Null - Workflow action for the terminally lazy

SYNOPSIS

# in workflow.xml...
<state name="some state">
  <action name="null" />
  ...

# in workflow_action.xml...
<action name="null" class="Workflow::Action::Null" />

DESCRIPTION

Workflow action that does nothing. But unlike all those other lazy modules out there, it does nothing with a purpose! For instance, you might want some poor slobs to have some action verified but the elite masters can skip the work entirely. So you can do:

<state name="checking" autorun="yes">
   <action name="verify" resulting_state="verified">
       <condition name="isPoorSlob" />
   </action>
   <action name="null" resulting_state="verified">
       <condition name="isEliteMaster" />
   </action>
</state>

OBJECT METHODS

execute()

Implemented from Workflow::Action. Proudly does nothing and proves it by returning undef.
