Is there any way to use Spring Boot, Liquibase and an sql-script for integration tests?

Question

I use liquibase to set up my database schema. I disable hibernate to create anything. Because of that, my import.sql is ignored. Is there any way to configure spring boot or liquibase or any other part to load test data after liquibase has created the tables?

Answer 1

If you need something crude (ie, not for actual data migrations), you can use Spring's JDBC initializer in Spring Boot . In a nutshell, you'll need to:

1. create a data-test.sql to load your data, and place it in your src/main/resources directory. For different environments, just use the naming convention data-{platform}.sql
2. add applications-test.properties to src/main/resources with the following: spring.datasource.platform=test # this actives data-test.sql above spring.datasource.continueOnError=???? # depends on your needs spring.datasource.platform=test # this actives data-test.sql above spring.datasource.continueOnError=???? # depends on your needs
3. to active the application-test.properties during your testing, make sure "test" is one of the profiles that's active during your integration test. One way to do this is to annotate your test class with @ActiveProfiles({"test", ...}) .

The simplest way seems to load the data with liquibase. You can do it with a normal Changeset (XML or JSON) or a Changeset in SQL-Format . The most common way is to load CSV-Data or run an existing SQL-File .
