cannot complete user task http 400 bad request

[shailk]

I am unable to complete user task with the activiti rest api and always gets the http 400 bad request error (whether I run this from rest client or my .net code.

I am using http://localhost:8082/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks/49 to post the json body for completing the task.
Authorization: Basic a2VybWl0Omtlcm1pdA==
action: complete

I can view the task with the same GET url and receives the below response:

{"id":"49","url":"http://localhost:8082/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks/49','owner':'kermit','assignee':'kermit','... form","description":null,"createTime":"2015-06-08T17:59:08.813+01:00","dueDate":"2015-06-08T18:29:08.906+01:00","priority":50,"suspended":false,"taskDefinitionKey":"theTask","tenantId":"","category":null,"formKey":"http://localhost:8082/orbeon/fr/TestWorkflow/TestWorkflow/new','parentTaskId':null,'parentTaskUrl':n...":[]}

Means your body of the POST is most likely wrong.

I have found the problem myself. The next task was expecting variables and I was not passing right variables hence unable to complete the task…Activiti rocks. 🙂
