User task query for assigned or candidate tasks

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

I am using the or() method of TaskQuery to find all tasks that have been either assigned to a user or which he is a candidate for:

Logger.info("assigned tasks {}", taskService.createTaskQuery().taskAssignee(user).count());
Logger.info("candidate tasks {}", taskService.createTaskQuery().taskCandidateUser(user).count());
Logger.info("assigned or candidate tasks {}", taskService.createTaskQuery().or().taskCandidateUser(user).taskAssignee(user).endOr().count());

Output:
[info] application - assigned tasks 14
[info] application - candidate tasks 2
[info] application - assigned or candidate tasks 0

I expected the last query to include all 16 tasks, how to achieve that?

yeah smells buggy, i get a result, which is inconsistent, by using the same syntax you are using:

//this is groovy
String userName='admin'
int assignedTasks = taskService.createTaskQuery()
          .taskAssignee(userName)
          .list().size()

int candidateTasks =  taskService.createTaskQuery()
          .taskCandidateUser(userName)
          .list().size()

println "User assigned (" +assignedTasks + "), user candidate (" + candidateTasks + "), User " + userName + " has in total tasks: " + 
           taskService.createTaskQuery()
          .or()
           .taskCandidateUser(userName)
           .taskAssignee(userName)          
          .endOr()
          .list().size()

and a result is:

User assigned (18), user candidate (2), User admin has in total tasks: 17

I tried a rest api:
/camunda/rest/task/count

with post:

{ 
 "candidateUser":"admin",
  "includeAssignedTasks":"true",        
  "orQueries": [
    {   
     "assignee":"admin",
      "candidateUser":"admin"
    }
  ]
}

gave me back the same wrong number of tasks 17. loosing couple of assigned tasks in the middle…

Thanks for reproducing the problem. A bummer, we were quite excited about that new or() method. Will have to do multiple queries then or hit the database.
