I am trying to run a flow Test which runs fine 2.0.9 RELEASE. After changing the version to 2.1.0.RELEASE, the same flowTest fails in startFlow statement, the code snippet where the following Exception throws

public void testMyTest() {
CoverageFlowListener.setTestName("MyTest");
CoverageFlowListener.initializePath();
MockParameterMap parameterMap = new MockParameterMap();
parameterMap.put("_eventId", "hi");
MockExternalContext context = new MockExternalContext();
startFlow(new LocalAttributeMap(), context);
context.setRequestParameterMap(parameterMap);
context.setEventId("ok");
resumeFlow(context);
}


java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot handle (124) '|'
