Escalation event without an escalation or a code

The check compat/escalation-reference, in the group Engine compatibility.

Error

Why it matters

An escalation event that refers to no escalation, or to one without a code, catches or throws nothing the engine can match.

How to fix it

Choose an escalation for the event and give it an escalation code.

Where you see it

The Problems tab lists it under Engine, the editor marks the element on the canvas, and penstock check reports it as compat/escalation-reference. It checks the diagram against the engine and the version it is written for: the version in the file's modeler:executionPlatformVersion, or the newest one when the file has none. Operaton and CIB seven are checked as Camunda 7. This check is free.

To turn it off, set camunda-compat/escalation-reference or compat/escalation-reference to off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
