I use Spring boot 2.0.1.RELEASE with Activiti  5.22.0 and write a init method in start application:

@Bean
CommandLineRunner init(final RepositoryService repositoryService, final RuntimeService runtimeService,
final TaskService taskService) {

   return new CommandLineRunner() {

      public void run(String... strings) throws Exception {
      Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
      variables.put("applicantName", "John Doe");
      variables.put("email", "john.doe@activiti.com");
      variables.put("phoneNumber", "123456789");
      runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("hireProcess", variables);
      }
   };
}

run but comes out the error below:

Description:

Parameter 0 of method init in com.test.Test required a bean of type 'org.activiti.engine.RepositoryService' that could not be found.

Action:

Consider defining a bean of type 'org.activiti.engine.RepositoryService' in your configuration.

and i try use Activiti 5.19.0.2 or Activiti 6.0.0 is ok, i don't know why?

You can use Activiti 6 which should work with Spring Boot 1.5, but the main focus of Activiti 7 is to build things on top Spring Boot 2.x. You can take a look at our Runtime Bundle Starter module here: 

activiti-cloud-runtime-bundle-service/activiti-cloud-starter-runtime-bundle at develop · Activiti/activiti-cloud-runtime… 

and an example here: 

example-runtime-bundle/pom.xml at develop · Activiti/example-runtime-bundle · GitHub 

For our cloud deployments. 

Can you please elaborate what kind of application are you trying to build? Where are you planning to run your SB app?
