[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPM-2856) assertExecutionEnded should check for executions in STATE_ENDED

[ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2856?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] M M commented on JBPM-2856: --------------------------- In reference to your comment that "it should delete itself before signal the super process instance" - looking at the implementation for <sub-process>, the parent execution needs access to the child process variables, in order to implement the <parameter-out> feature. If you delete the child process instance before signalling the parent execution, the parent would not be able to access the child process and its variables. I think you would need to delete the child process instance after the parent is signalled and has a chance to pull out the variables. Perhaps the solution would be to delete the child process in the implementation of the <sub-process> activity, after it has done all it needs to with the child process. But besides all this, this jira is not for a bug in the PVM, but rather that the test assertion has a bug. If there is any possibility that an execution could have a state of "ended" but not yet be deleted, I think it would make sense to fix the assertion also. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
