Description of problem: When querying tasks which do not have an actual owner by using - the /rest/task/query, - or TaskService.getTasksByVariousFields(...) method (which the REST operation depends on) these methods will not find the tasks in question. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a task that does not have an actual owner 2. Query the tasks using a valid criteria (process instance id, for example) 3. Check the results Actual results: No tasks are returned. Expected results: The correct tasks are returned. Additional info:
This bug means that there are cases in which the user will not be able find the task created by a process instance.
My apologies: somehow, 2 different tests both failed repeatedly during the same hour, after which both started passing again. This bug somehow magically disappeared after an hour of looking into it.
