I have created a SharePoint 2013 Workflow in Visual Studio 2012. This workflow is activated when a list item is modified.

Once the list item modified, the workflow shows as the started. But on clicking "started" or "workflow name", it throws an error:

The given key was not present in the dictionary.

Stack Trace

[KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.] System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key) +14122715 Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.FabricWorkflowInstanceProvider.GetRetryMessage(WorkflowInstance instance) +936 Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.FabricWorkflowInstanceProvider.GetInstance(Guid instanceId) +463 Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.ApplicationPages.WrkStatPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +611 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +71 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +3178

Edit: Prior to the above error, an http 401 error (Token contains invalid signature) was thrown on workflow initiation. After following the steps mentioned here, it started throwing the above error.

  • @Gwny Yes. Both list and workflow are stored in the same SharePoint App web.

I have the same error, but it begin appers after re-installing workflow manager on the another server and applying updates. After two days of searching, i've decided to remove proxy and run Register-SPWorkflowService with ScopeName parameter value different from "Sharepoint". See msdn. I recommend to save all your workflows before taking this action.

  • Thanks. I tried that too but didn't work. In the end, i reconfigured Domain Controller and Windows App Fabric and the issue got resolved.

I face the same issue after installing recommend MS Updates.

It seams there is issue with recent MS update for SharePoint i.e. KB2880998

Hotfix to fix the issue is : KB2880963 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2880963)

It has resolved my issue.
