Hello,
we can’t start an application because it has a process with a timer start event that throws an IllegalArgumentException. We configured the timer start event the same way as a timer start event in another application that starts without any problems. Both timer start events don’t have priorities themselves, but their processes have configured priorities.
The exception isn’t thrown if we change the timer start event to a normal start event.
When debugging the errorMessageHeading is “Job StartEvent__TIMER/timer-start-event instantiated in context of null”.
We’re using Camunda EE 7.9.
