Amin MC [http://community.jboss.org/people/aminmc] created the discussion "JUnit test and process instance variables" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/602340#602340 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi I have encountered an interesting scenario of my test failing when I run it but passing when I debug the test.  Basically I have the following code WorkflowProcessInstance instance = (WorkflowProcessInstance)session.getProcessInstance(processInstanceId); DataObject dataObject = instance.getVariable(variableName); session.signalEvent(..); WorkflowProcessInstance instance = (WorkflowProcessInstance)session.getProcessInstance(processInstanceId); DataObject reloaded = instance.getVariable(variableName); if (dataObject is not same as reloaded) {      doSomething(); } What I notice is that when i run the test reloaded hasn't been updated when i expect it to be as defined in my flow.  However when I debug and wait a second or two reload gets updated and the condition is evaluated.  My test basically starts the flow and then performs the signal.  I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?  When running the code outside of a test it works as expected but not within a test. Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/602340#602340] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
