• given:
  • I start a process instance with a file variable
  • The process instance is pending in a wait state
  • I remove the file variable
• when:
  • I retrieve the historic details via REST-API or variable updates via optimize REST-API endpoint
• then:
  • I get an error message as a response with status code 500
• expected:
  • I can retrieve variable updates even if a file variable was removed

Hint:

• This is the error message you get:
