Guide / Every rule

Task that forks the flow without a gateway

The check bpmnlint/no-implicit-split, in the group Modelling rules.

Error

Why it matters

Several flows out of a task start all of them at once, or none of them, depending on conditions nobody can see.

How to fix it

Add a gateway after the task and fork there.

Where you see it

The editor puts a marker on the element while you draw, and the Problems tab of the sidebar lists it under Rules, with the rule name bpmnlint/no-implicit-split. In a terminal, penstock check --only rules reports it.

To change how strict this rule is, set no-implicit-split to error, warn or off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
