Task actions strange error message via REST call

I've been testing task actions via REST call (complete, delegate, claim, resolve) but I'm getting strange error message back.

JSON request (this is for delegate, but I get the same message with any action):

{"action":"delegate","assignee":"kermit"}
‍‍‍

Here is the response:

{"errorMessage":"Invalid action: 'null'.","statusCode":400}
‍‍‍

The uri: service/runtime/tasks/{taskId}

Any idea?

Are you sure you're passing in a non-null value for the "action"?

We have test-coverage for this: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/blob/83e80219c4f79dd446e68ed9f6fccbb4647c1ce3/modules/activiti-rest/src/test/java/org/activiti/rest/api/runtime/TaskResourceTest.java
