Throwing BPMNError does not end process instance properly

[bcampeau1]

Hello,

In one of our workflow, there is a task that can throw a Bpmn error for a business validation.  I have added a bounderyErrorEvent on the sub-process where it can occur.

When the Bpmn Error is thrown, the process is stopped as we want… but even if my BounderyErrorEvent is pointing to an End Event, the process instance is not ended properly. 


This call   List<HistoricProcessInstance> procHist = historyService.createHistoricProcessInstanceQuery().unfinished().list();

will return this process instance forever!

How can i end properly a process on a Bpmn error?

Hi Ben,

Could you create jUnit test?

as an example use :
org.activiti.examples.bpmn.event.error.BoundaryErrorEventTest

I have a unit test ready to be sent,  but i can't attach it here.

And the link to jira in the how-to-write-unit-test post is not working anymore!!

How can i send you the unit test?

OK nvm,  created a bug in activiti.atlassian.net

I checked it -> works fine for me.

How can i send you the unit test?

Fork the project https://github.com/Activiti/activiti-unit-test-template and add the link.

bug - https://activiti.atlassian.net/browse/ACT-4211
I am going to have a look on it.

OK thanks for taking time to check this.


Finally, i found a way to make my case works.

Thing is, when i added a sequence to the end event, i was having the error : already taking a transition!  My Bpmn error was occuring in a mutli-instance sub-process in async. 

I realized the sequencial property was set to false!!  by setting it to true, i got rid of the "already taking a transition" error and now my process is ending properly.

Thanks
