REST: POST /deployment/create not working - returning 404

[gar...@tdbfusion.com]

HI All,

I'm struggling to deploy a process via the REST api ( Works fine via Java API ). I'm getting a 404 ( not found ).

Has the URI changed ? <deploymentURL>/engine-rest/deployment/create

All other webservices are working fine and as expected. Im posting a multipart mime, but given the 404 it appears to be failing before Camunda even tries to interrogate the payload. ( nothing in the logs to go on as 404 cant go anywhere )

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

which version of camunda do you use? The deployment REST resource was added in the 7.2.0 development. So if your are using

7.1.x it isn't available.

Cheers,

Sebastian

Sorry I should know better than to miss that out - Im using 7.1. Thanks for the information - that explains a lot !

Can I suggest a version number is added to the API documentation ? ( There is no way of knowing which version it is for ) http://docs.camunda.org/latest/api-references/rest/#overview

Thanks for the speedy reply - its very much appreciated.

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

the latest docs [1] states always the latest released version of camunda BPM, which is most of the time the latest alpha version. If you want to get the docs of a stable release

like 7.1.x or 7.0.x you can select the version in the upper right. Or bookmark the corresponding url [2]. You can always download the latest alpha from our download page [3]

(you have to scroll below the last stable release).

Cheers,

Sebastian

Awesome - Thanks Sebastian - Id never noticed the dropdown and assumed ( incorrectly ) that latest, would be the latest released.

Bring on 7.2 :)
