Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: deployment doesn't contain any rules

[vahaj]

I'm facing an issue while processing a business rule task through drool file, following are the steps that I have done.

. Have put following properties in activiti.cfg.xml and have made a jar of that xml file and have put that jar in lib folder of activiti-explorer

. All drools related jars have also put in lib folder

Following exception is throwing by tomcat 7 when try to process business rule task.

If nobody replies, it typically means that either the problem is obscure or your explanation was not very clear.

For instance, you posted a unit test, but it refers to a drl on your machine (/home/mwahaj), secondly you say it passes 'green'. Shouldn't it be failing when there is a problem?
