Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate and workflows

In my today's SharePoint situation I need to replicate an website from a dev environment into another dev environment (without content, only structures). I have been looking to the Get-PnPProvis...

According to PnP-Core code, the ObjectWorkflow ObjectHandler should extract Workflows lists, so, as Paul said, did you try with latest version?

Also, you can enable Debug before running the Get-PnPProvisioning template:
Set-SPOTraceLog -On -Level Debug
and let us know if there's any error.

It helps indeed. However I am missing the fact of whether this is only possible with 2013 worflows or also with 2010 workflows as well? Because in my current scenario I need this to work with the latter ones.

It will work with both as 2010 and 2013 deliver xaml.

Hi Paul,

I keep struggling with the provisioning templates for sites containing 2010 Workflows.

These are the commands I have tried:

Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out $templateFolder\full.pnp
Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Out $templateFolder\wfl.pnp -Handlers Workflows

In both cases when I inspect the zip file I find this (no xaml files whatsoever):

    PnP provisioning engine export does not support unfortunately SP2010 workflows. 2013's are supported. SP2010 workflows are using slightly different API surface and file format. Even though theoretically exporting SP2010 workflows could be done in some level, exporting any custom workflows with code behinds would not work and experience inadequate.
