5.17 Issue with repeating async service tasks

mishamo — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 09:35:03 GMT

Hi,I've noticed an issue that has creeped in in 5.17; it presents itself when trying to execute an async service task for a second time during a process. I've created the following test caseublic class AsyncProcessTest { @Rule public ActivitiRule activitiRule = new ActivitiRule("test.activiti.cf

I'm not sure how this could work, even on previous versions!

The ProcessInstance object you get back reflects the state at the point of when the transaction commits. This is the service task, NOT the user task. ie assertThat(process.getActivityId(), is("usertask1")); should be assertThat(process.getActivityId(), is("servicetask"));

In the sync case, it is the user task, as the transaction commits when the user task is reached.

That makes sense, but I think that was an oversight on my part, rather than the underlying issue. From what I understand, based on your description, if I add a:
<code>
process = activitiRule.getRuntimeService().createProcessInstanceQuery()
.processInstanceId(process.getProcessInstanceId())
.singleResult();
</code>
before the last assert, then that should fetch the latest instance of that process (after the first transaction has been committed), which should now have advanced to the user task. Unfortunately, this isn't the case since 5.17.

Which combinations did you use exactly?
This one for example?
<blockcode>
<property name="jobExecutorEnabled" value="false" />
<property name="asyncExecutorEnabled" value="true" />
<property name="asyncExecutorActivate" value="false" />
</blockcode>

If you want to manually complete the jobs this would be the correct configuration. If it's not working for you, please create a unit test showing the issue and create a JIRA issue for it. That makes it easier for us to look into the issue.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs,

Yes, I've tried that combination; the line:
<code><property name="jobExecutorEnabled" value="false" \></code>
causes a BeanCreationException to be thrown. The other lines seem to make no difference to whether the unit test succeeds or not.

Anyway, I've created a JIRA issue with attached unit test project: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-2183

Thanks.
