[rules-users] Test Scenarios with Rule Flows in 5.1.1 Guvnor

[Jeffrey DeLong]

Add a rule with a higher salience that starts the rule flow process

rule "StartProcess"
salience 100
	when
		#conditions
	then 
		#actions
		kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().startProcess("processname");
		
end

And add it to your package.

Activate is for test scenarios that test individual rules that are part of a ruleflow group. For example, you want to test your second rule independent of the rule flow process, then activate RuleFlowGroup2 (and provide a set of facts that cause the rule in RuleFlowGroup2 to execute).

I have a simple 4 step rule flow (Start-RuleGroup1-RuleGroup2-End) with 1 rule in each Rule group.  When I set up the test scenario to fire the first rule, which will trigger the second rule, activate “RuleGroup1”, and run the scenario, it doesn’t trigger the RuleFlow and fire the rule.  I’ve also tried activating “Start” instead, but neither of them trigger the RuleFlow.
