Hello,
I have suspended a process definition that has a signal start but sometimes it gets started.
I couldn’t find in which cases it starts, it seems to happen randomly and I cannot reproduce it as the most of times it doesn’t start.
In my code I have a rabbit listener that listens to some event and calls:
runtimeService.signalEventReceived(eventName, variables);
The definition is suspended for a long time so I guess that the issue is not that there is some message stuck in the queue of rabbit or at some flowable db table and waits for execution. Also, I don’t know if it’s a cache issue there are cases where I trigger the event for the signal multiple times and only one time it seems to run the instance.
I have found an old similar issue: Process instances can be created from suspended process definitions via signal but as I understood and saw from the code running, there is a check for the state of the definition.
