Bug in 'Like' expressions in Activiti Rest?

[jindal8787]

Hi Team

We were exploring the options of using 'like' expressions in Activiti Rest API (v5.17.0) for getting the list of tasks. However, for our surprise.. like seems to be working for certain query parameters but not on others. For e.g., it works fine with task name & tenant ID, however it doesn't work with assignee & process-instance business key like parameters.

URLs that works fine -

/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks?nameLike=my%25
/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks?tenantIdLike=m%25

URLs NOT working -

/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks?assigneeLike=j%25 (It gives me all the tasks in Activiti Engine rather it should give a handful)
/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks?processInstanceBusinessKeyLike=myB%25 (same, it gives me all the tasks in Activiti Engine rather it should give a handful).

Please confirm if it is a bug in Activiti Rest (v5.17.0)? Any resolution?

Thanks

Anyone?

I checked the current code on master, and it simply passes it to the Java API. It should work.

Did you test this on a recent Activiti version? 5.17 is quite a while ago.

Hi Jbarrez, I tried with Activiti 5.21.0 version. No luck. Same result.

You are correct. Fix is here: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/commit/47253b7edc10720a4f9d0c203eb225f14e7215a6

Also not that you need to replace % with %25 if you're the browser for example.
