could not auto wire activiti RuntimeService

Question

i am learning to use activiti with spring boot but i get some errors and searching too much about acitiviti stable version with spring boot and java

i am using java 8 and tomcat 8.0.3

i changed so many version of spring and jdk and checked so many sample and can not find any problem i only have a controller class and spring main class when i run the project get this error:

 Error creating bean with name 'runtimeServiceBean' defined in class path resource [org/activiti/spring/boot/JpaProcessEngineAutoConfiguration$JpaConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [org.activiti.engine.ProcessEngine]: : Error creating bean with name 'processEngine'defined in class path resource [org/activiti/spring/boot/JpaProcessEngineAutoConfiguration$JpaConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration]

this is my RestController and do nothing but an autowire

       import org.activiti.engine.RuntimeService;
        import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
        import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class MyRestController {
    @Autowired
    private RuntimeService runtimeService;
}

this is my pom.xml:

Lets have a look https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29502838/failed-to-inject-activiti-framework-services-in-my-spring-webapp — Sudhir Ojha, Mar 14 '19 at 13:43
first: is there any specific reason to use `activiti 5.19.0.2`, consider upgrading to `activiti 5.22`. second: how do initialize your `Process Engine`, do you let spring handle that? — Abbas Kararawala, Mar 15 '19 at 05:16

If you want to use Activiti with Spring Boot 2.x we recommend to use the new release of Activiti Core 7 which can be found here: https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.activiti/activiti-spring-boot-starter/7.0.0.SR1/jar

You can find examples here: https://github.com/activiti/activiti-examples

after so many search i realized that spring boot 2 have problem with activiti then i change spring boot to version 1.5 and then i get new error :

'formDataResource': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'formService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'formServiceBean' defined in class path resource [org/activiti/spring/boot/JpaProcessEngineAutoConfiguration$JpaConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'formServiceBean' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'processEngine' defined in class path resource [org/activiti/spring/boot/JpaProcessEngineAutoConfiguration$JpaConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'processEngine' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'springProcessEngineConfiguration' defined in class path resource [org/activiti/spring/boot/JpaProcessEngineAutoConfiguration$JpaConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration]

and the cause of new error : i dont have any process in src/main/resources/processes/

set some process and delete target folder

it worked for me !

With Spring Boot 2.x you have to add the dependence above, and delete the other one.`

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
        <artifactId>activiti-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        <version>7.0.0.SR1</version>
    </dependency>`
