Form not found from user task

[jchildress]

I had the "issue" earlier where I couldn't use the designer with a formKey in the startEvent.  So I put a user task instead and put my form there…

When the user goes to complete the form it's not found.  The strack trace is below and my .bar file is attached.

Hi John,

That's because the 0.7.0 version of the designer adds a path separator before each file, which is not allowed in the Activiti Engine.
In the new version, released in a couple of days (and a sneak preview available at http://ge.tt/4Bj9egv, this issue is resolved.

Best regards,

[jchildress]

Thank you very much.  I'll try the new designer this weekend…

John
