NPE when completing task with non-null assignee

I'm hitting a NPE when attempting to complete a task after claiming it with a non-null userId on version 5.13. Example:taskService.claim(taskId, "user1");taskService.complete(taskId);Digging into the source a bit I see the following comment in GetIdentityLinksForTaskCmd. java suggesting this might b

Can you please provide the context in which the 2 service-calls are done? Our test-suite covers the use case (having an assignee on a task an completing it) like a million times, so it' definitely not a bug that is always reproduced.

Do you call the claim(…) and complete(..) from within a task-listener? By the way, the exception is coming from the "delete" of an identity-link on a process-instance, not on the task itself… So more context is needed to analyze why this is happening…

I've come across the same problem today. As you suggested, in my case it occurs when calling taskService.getIdentityLinksForTask(…) while processing completion event in the task listener.

I've created an issue for that: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-2001 along with test case to demonstrate the problem.

Hi Mederly, Is this issue raised by you resolved? I upgraded my activiti from 5.12 to 5.15 and everything is breaking down. I am encountering the same issue which you have raised while trying to complete a task. The task has an attached listener which triggers my custom method named persistIdentityLink when the task is completed.

Hi,

I checked out activiti-5.15 from git. org.activiti.engine.impl.db.DbSqlSession$CheckedDeleteOperation.sameIdentity(DbSqlSession.java:252) is empty line. Do you really use 5.15.
