I use activiti with the CdiStandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration in my webapp which hosts Activiti REST API.
(In this webapp both activiti-rest and activiti-cdi dependencies are used. activiti-rest is used with a spring configuration which enables async executor, and activiti-cdi 's ProcessEngineLookup spi loads another engine which with programmatically disabled executors (async and jobExecutors).

I have created the following issue with environment & configuration details:

Thanks

Hi,
Since you see the same problem maybe you could help with the unit test?
we'll continue talking about it in the other link.
