[Bug ?] Iterate on empty list : IndexOutOfBoundsException : "Index: 0, Size: 0"

Hi.

I have a process where I multi-instanciate a task for each value of a list. Yesterday I note that when the list is empty, the process crash with this error :

2015-01-23 10:36:13 org.bonitasoft.engine.execution.work.FailureHandlingBonitaWork
AVERTISSEMENT: THREAD_ID=67 | HOSTNAME=W28323 | TENANT_ID=1 | The work [ExecuteFlowNodeWork: processInstanceId:1, flowNodeInstanceId: 3] failed. The failure will be handled.
2015-01-23 10:36:13 org.bonitasoft.engine.execution.work.FailureHandlingBonitaWork
AVERTISSEMENT: THREAD_ID=67 | HOSTNAME=W28323 | TENANT_ID=1 | java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException : "Index: 0, Size: 0"

I expected that if the list on which I iterate is empty, the task is skipped.

Is it normal to have this error ?

I use Bonita 6.3.7 with java 1.7.

PS : This bug appears only if I check the "Sequential" box in the Iterate tab.

Hi Yannick,

I reproduce your issue and report it on the bug tracker: https://bonita.atlassian.net/browse/BBPMC-242

A possible workaround is to use exclusive gateway to avoid step execution if list is empty.

Hi. This is exactly what I'm doing to avoid the problem. If the list is empty, I skip the task with a gateway.
