User Task Not Visible in Task List

Camunda 8 Topics
1

Hi,

Below are the steps I followed:

  1. Started Camunda
  2. Deployed a simple process with 1 user task (assignee is “demo“)
  3. Started the Process model from tasklist app. (http://localhost:8088/tasklist)
  4. I can see in Operate its waiting at the user task.
  5. When I go to Task List, I see it empty.
  6. Even Rest API POST “http://localhost:8088/v2/user-tasks/search“ is giving an empty list in response.

Please suggest what I am missing here.

Thank you,

Hari.

Details of each step:

  1. I started Camunda 8 instance using docker compose available at camunda-distributions/docker-compose/versions/camunda-8.8 at main · camunda/camunda-distributions · GitHub
  1. I deployed a very simple process model from my desktop modeler.

@hari_kiran - this is interesting! I’m curious, in your Postman request, what if you set your body to this:

{
  filter: {
    assignee: "demo"
  }
}

Hi @hari_kiran

I believe the issue is caused by two points:

1. The user tasks are implemented as job-worker based tasks which is clear from the attributes shown in Operate

2. You are running Camunda 8.8 where tasklist new V2 mode is enabled by default.

To resolve this, you can either migrate to the Camunda user-task implementation (recommended) or switch the tasklist to V1 mode.

To confirm the behavior, try querying the tasks using the Tasklist API “V1” through Postman instead of using the Orchestration Cluster API “V2”
