`mark-next-changeset-ran`

The mark-next-changeset-ran command marks the next change you apply as executed in your database.

Uses

The mark-next-changeset-ran command is typically used when you have made a change manually, and the deployment is failing. Here is a use case that shows the whole process in more detail:

You have a changelog with a specific changeset and want to create a table in your database, and then apply your changes manually without using Liquibase. In this case, there will be no record of this change in the DATABASECHANGELOG table.
Then you decide to deploy the same changeset by using the update command, Liquibase checks the DATABASECHANGELOG table to see if there is such a changeset. Since there is no record of it, Liquibase tries to create a table, but as it already exists, you receive an error.
As a result, Liquibase stops deployment at that specific changeset without executing it.
Running the mark-next-changeset-ran adds that changeset in the changelog as a record even though the table is already created. The command detects that the changeset was deployed.

Additionally, the best practice is to run the mark-next-changeset-ran-sql helper command to inspect the mark-next-changeset-ran SQL, so you can correct any issues that may arise before running the command.

Syntax

To run the mark-next-changeset-ran command, specify the driver, classpath, and URL in the Liquibase properties file. For more information, see Create and Configure a liquibase.properties File. You can also specify these properties in your command line.

Then run the mark-next-changeset-ran command:

liquibase mark-next-changeset-ran --changelog-file=example-changelog.xml

Command parameters

Attribute	Definition	Requirement
`--changelog-file=<string>`	The root changelog	Required
`--url=<string>`	The JDBC database connection URL. See Using JDBC URL in Liquibase.	Required
`--context-filter=<string>`	Specifies the changeset contexts to match. Contexts are tags you can add to changesets to control which changesets are executed in any particular migration run. Note: If you use Liquibase 4.23.0 or earlier, use the syntax `--contexts` instead of `--context-filter`.	Optional
`--default-catalog-name=<string>`	Name of the default catalog to use for the database connection	Optional
`--default-schema-name=<string>`	Name of the default schema to use for the database connection. If `defaultSchemaName` is set, then objects do not have to be fully qualified. This means you can refer to just `mytable` instead of `myschema.mytable`. Tip: In Liquibase v4.23.0+, camelCase for `defaultSchemaName` works successfully. If you are on an earlier version, camelCase may not work as expected. Note: The syntax `liquibase.command.defaultSchemaName` is valid for v4.19.0+. For prior versions, use `defaultSchemaName`.	Optional
`--driver=<string>`	The JDBC driver class	Optional
`--driver-properties-file=<string>`	The JDBC driver properties file	Optional
`--label-filter=<string>`	Specifies the changeset labels to match. Labels are tags you can add to changesets to control which changesets will be executed in any migration run.	Optional
`--password=<string>`	Password to connect to the target database. Tip: It is a best practice to store sensitive data in a Secrets Management tool with Liquibase Pro.	Optional
`--username=<string>`	Username to connect to the target database. Tip: It is a best practice to store sensitive data in a Secrets Management tool with Liquibase Pro.	Optional
