Summary of Changes

Hello @feeblefakie, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request is an automated backport that primarily focuses on updating various project dependencies to their newer versions. A significant part of the change involves refactoring the JUnit 5 dependency declarations across multiple modules to adopt the JUnit Bill of Materials (BOM) for improved consistency and simplified management.

Highlights

• Dependency Version Bumps: I've updated several dependency versions in build.gradle, including azureCosmosVersion from 4.71.0 to 4.72.0, sqliteDriverVersion from 3.50.1.0 to 3.50.2.0, mariadDbDriverVersion from 3.5.3 to 3.5.4, and junitVersion from 5.11.4 to 5.13.2.
• JUnit 5 Dependency Management Refactor: The way JUnit 5 dependencies are declared has been refactored across core/build.gradle, data-loader/build.gradle, integration-test/build.gradle, and schema-loader/build.gradle. The previous explicit junit-jupiter-api, junit-jupiter-params, and junit-jupiter-engine declarations have been replaced with a more streamlined approach using platform("org.junit:junit-bom:${junitVersion}"), org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter, and org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher.

Code Review

This pull request is an automated backport that updates several dependencies, including Azure Cosmos, SQLite, MariaDB, and JUnit. It also refactors the JUnit dependency declarations across multiple Gradle build files to use the recommended BOM and aggregator artifact approach. This simplifies the build configuration and ensures consistent JUnit versions. The changes look good, but I've pointed out a minor typo in a variable name for a dependency version that is being updated.

[gemini-code-assist]

There appears to be a typo in this variable name. It's likely intended to be mariaDbDriverVersion instead of mariadDbDriverVersion.

While this is a pre-existing issue, it would be good to correct it for better maintainability. If you decide to fix it, remember to update its usage in core/build.gradle as well.

        mariaDbDriverVersion = '3.5.4'
