Recently while working in a visual studio workflow for SharePoint online, I got the below error: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Configuration ‘HistoryListId’ was not found and a default value was not specified. And also I got another error which says: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.InvalidOperationException: Configuration ‘TaskListId’ was not found and a default value was not specified.

The full error message looks like below:

RequestorId: 38d4fd8d-3663-e39c-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.

And

System.InvalidOperationException: Configuration HistoryListId was not found and a default value was not specified

Then we wanted to manually trigger the workflow also. So in the workflow properties, I select “Manual Start Enabled”. Now next time when I deployed the workflow I got the above error.

To resolve the issue, we need to choose the Task List and History List. Select the workflow and then click on properties. Then choose the History List and Task List like below:

System.InvalidOperationException: Configuration HistoryListId was not found and a default value was not specified
System.InvalidOperationException: Configuration HistoryListId was not found and a default value was not specified

Once you select the History and Task list, the error will not come.

Read some SharePoint workflow tutorials:

I hope this will be helpful, to fix error System.InvalidOperationException: Configuration HistoryListId was not found and a default value was not specified.
