在构建时自动更新Liquibase的更改日志

Question

I'm currently working on a Spring project which uses Hibernate and Liquibase. What I am trying to achieve is to update Liquibase's changelog automatically every time I build the project. It's supposed to generate a diff based on my current productive database and my updated Hibernate Entities.

But the problem I have is that every time I clean and rebuild my project I get the following error:

liquibase-plugin: Running the 'main' activity...
INFO 6/22/15 11:12 AM: liquibase-hibernate: Reading hibernate configuration hibernate:spring:com.example.name.domain?dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

As far as I understand it the problem is that Liquibase requires all the entity classes to be loaded into gradle's classpath, but since the Java classes are just being compiled or have not been compiled that is not the case yet, hence the error message.

I can fix this error by building the project in two steps:

1. First I execute the task compileJava to build the entity classes.
2. Once that is done I can perform a normal build - now without any problems.

However building the project in two steps is quite tedious. Is there a way I can work around this issue to build it in just one step?

My build.gradle currently looks like this:

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.2.3.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        files 'build/classes/main'
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
        classpath("io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:0.5.0.RELEASE")
        classpath("org.liquibase:liquibase-gradle-plugin:1.1.0")
        classpath("mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.35")
        classpath('org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.1-api:1.0.0.Final')
        classpath('org.liquibase.ext:liquibase-hibernate4:3.5')
        classpath('org.springframework.data:spring-data-jpa:1.8.0.RELEASE')
        classpath files('build/classes/main/')

    }
}

Answer 1

I finally figured it out! You can use the Exec type to execute commands in the command line which subsequently starts a new process. You can find more information in the documentation .

This is the solution I ended up with:

task updateChangeLog(type: Exec) {
    commandLine 'gradle', 'diffChangeLog'
}
updateChangeLog.dependsOn compileJava

This starts a new separate gradle process with my diffChangeLog task.

Answer 2

You can define the Liquibase Task like this:

task liquibase(type: JavaExec, depends: build) { 
    classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath ... 
}
