Execution listener without an event type or a job type

The check compat/execution-listener, in the group Engine compatibility.

Error

Why it matters

A listener needs to know when it runs and which worker handles it; without either the engine refuses it.

How to fix it

Set the event type and the job type of the listener.

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/execution-listener. 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/execution-listener or compat/execution-listener to off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
