Dear Group, i’m a newbie when it comes to Camunda so please bare with me.
I’m trying to create a flow using External Tasks (not Java). The problem I’m facing is that Camunda stops the flow at each external task and waits to receive the fetchAndLock REST call. My question is: is there a way to automatize this?
Second question, is there a way to see the log of the external task inside Camunda? So far we can only see the flow moving from task to task but not what is happening inside each one.
You can use a client to automatically make the fetchAndLock call - if you don’t want to use java, you can use a JavaScript or take a list of the other languages that are available.
I’m using Python.
So far I managed to start a process via REST and get the active task (where the Camunda is waiting for the external agent).
Depending on the id of the task i send the right fetchAndLock+Complete.
Not sure if this is the right approach, in this case looks to me that Camunda is not adding value since it is my code who is constantly checking the flow.
Luckily enough @Nele has built a python client and also discussed it at CamundaCon last year. You can check out the recording here. That should help you out.
