Getting REST connector to work on local deployment

Camunda 8 Topics

I am not able to get the REST outbound connector to work on a local docker deployment. This is a Camunda 8 instance, which I am running using the docker compose instructions from Github.

I have these containers running:

I have added the element template to the right location, which has allowed me to create a simply flow and configured the service task to use the http outbound connector.

I am attempting a simple GET REST call to a public endpoint but the workflow is stuck at this step with no error.

Hi @e28makaveli did you use the template from the marketplace or which template did you use? Asking as there is no icon in your BPMN model indicating the rest connector is being used but rather a ServiceTask.

What is the value of the task type in your BPMN xml?

I ended up grabbing another REST connector from the store and this works. This one is named the REST Outbound connector.

Thank you.
