Unit tests with variable into workflow

Hi,

I'm based on unit tests located here:
https://forums.activiti.org/content/sticky-how-write-unit-test (and the source code repository).

I'll try to add some unit tests on my extensions of Service Task wrote in Java.
To test all configurations I need to launch this simplest workflow (with the simple activity), and pass parameters on the launch of the instance.
In my JavaDelegation class, I don't have correct values after get expression content. I get ${type} instead of the input value I passed to start the workflow.
Is it a bug ? because it work fine on a deployed instance of Activiti.
Do you have an issue for that ?

Thank,
Marc-Antoine

Hi Marc-Antoine,

have a look on an example:
org.activiti.engine.test.bpmn.servicetask.ServiceTaskVariablesTest
in activiti source
