StateMachine get blocked on 'aquireStateMachine(id)' when using an id that contains special regex characters

[mirela-solomon]

Hi,

I've encountered the following problem on spring-statemachine version 3.2.0.

We have the following configuration:

@Configuration
@EnableStateMachine
public class TicketStateMachineConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public StateMachineService<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger> stateMachineService(
            StateMachineFactory<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger> stateMachineFactory,
            StateMachinePersist<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger, String> stateMachinePersister) {
        return new DefaultStateMachineService<>(stateMachineFactory, stateMachinePersister);
    }

    @Configuration
    @EnableStateMachineFactory
    public static class TicketStateMachine extends StateMachineConfigurerAdapter<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger> {

        @Autowired
        private Collection<TicketStateConfiguration> stateConfigurations;

        @Autowired
        private StateMachineRuntimePersister<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger, String> runtimePersister;

        @Override
        public void configure(StateMachineConfigurationConfigurer<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger> config) throws Exception {
            config.withConfiguration().regionExecutionPolicy(RegionExecutionPolicy.PARALLEL);
            config.withPersistence().runtimePersister(runtimePersister);
        }

        @Override
        public void configure(StateMachineStateConfigurer<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger> states) throws Exception {
            states.withStates()
                    .initial(TicketStatus.LAUNCHING)
      		    .choice(...
      		    ...	
                    .states(EnumSet.allOf(TicketStatus.class));

            for (TicketStateConfiguration stateConfiguration : stateConfigurations) {
                stateConfiguration.configure(states);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void configure(StateMachineTransitionConfigurer<TicketStatus, TicketTrigger> transitions) throws Exception {
            for (TicketStateConfiguration stateConfiguration : stateConfigurations) {
                stateConfiguration.configure(transitions);
            }
        }
    }
}

From the service we are trying to do:
StateMachine<S, E> stateMachine = stateMachineService.acquireStateMachine(id);

When providing an id that contains special regex characters like: "stateMachineService.acquireStateMachine("${ticketId}"), the state machine instance get blocked and is completely unusable. PatternSyntaxException are logged from the StateMachineObjectSupport methods but no exception is thrown and we are not able to get a response from acquireStateMachine method.

I tried to acquire the stateMachine and then manually start the machine, but I'm not able to get the errors from startup and not able to treat this scenario.

 StateMachine<S, E> stateMachine = stateMachineService.acquireStateMachine(id, false);
 stateMachine.startReactively().block();

I'll attach the debug logs for this issue:

We're also getting this on 4.0.0. Using UUID's as state machine identifier. It complains about dash, since it's interpreted as regex special character:
