Complete a pending task using REST API

sindhana

Hi,

I queried the pending tasks within a process using the REST call POST api/enterprise/tasks/query, which returned set of tasks. When I tried to complete the task using POST api/enterprise/task-forms/{taskId} and PUT api/enterprise/tasks/{taskId}/action/complete, I'm getting the forbbidden error (HTTP 403).

Using HTTPBasic authentication for making rest calls. Is there anyway I can call these REST services?

I understand that we can use either one of call to complete a task. I was trying to use one at a time to test which one is working.

This is how I tested.
Using postman app (google chrome extension), I made a call with my activiti login credentials. It throwed Access forbidden error.
(OR)
Within JAVA delegate class, made the rest call. I'm getting the same error again

Thanks for you reply!!

Have you passed JSON data with it? which requires for your form to complete…

Can you provide some more details like how you are posting data to the Activiti server…

Also afaik you need not to call PUT api/enterprise/tasks/{taskId}/action/complete separately to complete the task after submitting the form details with POST api/enterprise/task-forms/{taskId} call it will automatically complete the task…

sindhana

Yes. For the POST call this is the model {"values":{"request":"123"},"outcome":"Confirm"}. For the PUT call there is no need for json body (mentioned in Alfresco activiti documentation)

In your JSON, "request" is the id of one of your form field right? Can you give a try without specifying the outcome…

Also PUT api/enterprise/tasks/{taskId}/action/complete is for completing the standalone task which is not associated with a process or without a task form… So in your case I think the POST call should work…

sindhana

Thanks for replying the question.

I removed "outcome" from the POST call json body and it resolved the issue. I'm able to cancel the request now.

Thanks for the information about PUT rest call too.

I am trying t do the same thing as Sindhana. I am using the POST to api/enterprise/task-forms/{taskId}. I do not have a an outcome in my json body. The user task has a form with 1 field on it with the id - "completedByInitials" and the body looks like this (from Postman) {"values":{"completedByInitials":"JDG"}}.

I am using basic auth, with the Admin credentials and impersonation with "activiti-user someone@somewher.com" and activiti-user-value-type "userEmailType". These are the same values I use to claim the task.

Any thoughts?
