Testing

The test execution requires a running instance of PostgreSQL and its credentials passed to the test classes:

• to directly execute the JUnit tests add the following VM arguments

  -Ddatabase.url=jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/lakebase-test -Ddatabase.user=db-user -Ddatabase.password=db-password
  

• to execute the JUnit tests through Maven update /etc/maven/settings.xml using e.g. sudo vi /etc/maven/settings.xml

  • add inside of <profiles>...</profiles>:

    <profile>
      <id>lakebaseTest</id>
      <properties>
        <lakebase.test.database.url>jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/lakebase-test</lakebase.test.database.url>
        <lakebase.test.database.user>db-user</lakebase.test.database.user>
        <lakebase.test.database.password>db-password</lakebase.test.database.password>
      </properties>
    </profile>
    

  • add inside of <settings>...</settings>:

    <activeProfiles>
      <activeProfile>lakebaseTest</activeProfile>
    </activeProfiles>
    

Attention: The database will be truncated first! Use a dedicated test database what does not contain any important data.
