Lack of this parameter causes: - the exception with message: "o.s.c.t.listener.TaskLifecycleListener: taskExecution and throwable parameters are required for @FailedTask annotated methods :While handling this error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to execute ApplicationRunner" - please, take look at [this](https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-task/blob/master/spring-cloud-task-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/task/listener/annotation/TaskListenerExecutor.java#L113) - and, as a consequence, a lost lock on the task (record in the table `task_locks`)
