Linting for Camunda 7 BPMNs

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

Hi there

I installed the Modeler 5.7. The cool linting plugin does not work anymore :sob:. See GitHub - camunda/camunda-modeler-linter-plugin: Check your BPMN diagrams for common issues

So the replacement is the build-in Linting of the Modeler.

Now for a Camunda 8 BPMN, that looks good:

But for a Camunda 7 BPMN, not so good:

What is idea here? Only support for 8, or do I miss something?

If there is no support for 7, is this correct, the last working version would be 5.2 - right?

Hello @pme123 ,

the Modeler team is working on bringing back the default c7 rules.

In the meantime, you can activate them with a plugin:

I hope this helps

How would one install this plugin? I have the MacOS version of the modeler, but do I need to build this project first or add the contents of the repo directly to the Contents/MacOS/plugins folder? Thanks!

Hi @DaveyStones
I wrote a modeler and plugin manager for all used plugins.

Hi @pme123, I cannot modify my Mac applications in the Applications folder – we have an enhanced privilege management policy that disallows that. I also attempted to add a plugins directory to a copy of the app in my ~/Downloads folder, and when I tried to run it with one plugin compiled there, it said that it couldn’t execute the app because it had been tampered with.

Do you have any other suggestions of how to get these plugins installed? Should I try modifying your script to point to a copy of the app that I can modify? Thanks again for your help!

Hi @DaveyStones
Sorry I do not know if there is another way.

I came back to this after some time and realized there was a separate command for installing just the plugins to the user’s library app support location.

amm modeler-setup.sc plugins

That worked for me!

However, I did make a minor change to get the pluginPath set correctly:

private val pluginPath = os.home / "Library" / "Application Support" / "camunda-modeler" / "plugins"

Thanks for the plugin manager, @pme123!
