I can define a BPMN Error Throw Event with an error message

XMLWordPrintable

      Scenario

      A user has two different Error End Events, each referencing a different <error /> and a "catch-all" error start event in an event subprocess. Since the start event can catch two different errors, the user wants to reason about which error has been caught by the start event by storing error code and error message as variables. While it is currently possible to specify an error message when throwing an error from delegation code with new BpmnError(code, message) it is not possible to do so when defining the error end event.

      Feature Description

      Given:

      • An error end event which references a BPMN Error definition with camunda:errorMessage defined as in the following example:: <bpmn:error id="Error_1x1ymni" name="INVALID_DATA" errorCode="1231" camunda:errorMessage="The data provided is invalid" />
      • An error start event which uses camunda:errorMessageVariable="foo"

      When

      The end event is executed

      Then

      The start event is triggered and after executing it, the variable foo contains the value "The data provided is invalid".

        This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app

            nikola.koevski you write that "It is possible to define a BPMN Error Throw Event with an error message in the Modeler." I did not find that feature. Where do you define the error message for a error throw event in the modeler?

            meyer, it's not possible. Sorry, I mixed up the properties panels with the BPMN Error Catch Event. However, the feature request is still valid, since the error message won't be parsed by the engine.

            Review hints:

            • Provide tests for BPMN Error events without a message defined (old behavior) in the Model API and the engine.
