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
