Timer not working with SpringBoot

I am developing an Activiti prototype using Spring Boot with Spring MVC/Thymeleaf and Security with Java 1.7 and Eclipse.  It is very simple and follows the Spring Boot example.  The flow immediately goes to a subprocess with a user task and a boundary timer.  The timer is created, but never executes.  In Application.java in the main class the JobExecutorActivate is set to true.  I have tried putting the flow definition in /processes and loading it specifically from another subdirectory.

   public static void main(String[] args) {      ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);      ProcessEngine processEngine = context.getBean(ProcessEngine.class);      ProcessEngineConfiguration processEngineConfiguration = processEngine.getProcessEngineConfiguration();           log.info("activate timers=" + processEngineConfiguration.isJobExecutorActivate() + "," + processEngineConfiguration);      processEngineConfiguration.setJobExecutorActivate(true);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍


This is logged:

   The timer is inserted:  Preparing: insert into ACT_RU_JOB ( ID_ ….


Why is the timer not activating?

Any help would be very appreciated!


Here is my flow definition:

Hi,
could you create simple jUnit test for your case please?

I was able to get it working by downloading the latest code from GitHub and installing it.  The override for spring.activiti.jobExecutorActivate solved the problem.
