Maven updateTestingRollback

updateTestingRollback tests rollback support by deploying all pending changesets to the database, executes a rollback sequentially for the equal number of changesets that were deployed, and then runs the update again deploying all changesets to the database.

Uses

updateTestingRollback is typically used when you want to test rollback functionality when deploying changesets in your changelog sequentially. Run this command only when all pending changelogs have been verified as ready to be deployed as you cannot specify changesets to exclude.

updateTestingRollback utilizes a multi-step operation and runs in sequential order:

  1. update changeset1; update changeset2; update changeset3
  2. rollback changeset3; rollback changeset2; rollback changeset1
  3. update changeset1; update changeset2 update changeset3

Note: If you use the earlier versions of Liquibase, the order of operations may differ.

If any of the changesets fail rollback, changesets that come after the failed changesets will not be tested or updated. Any changesets that come before the failed changesets will be deployed to the database.

Maven configuration

You can configure Liquibase Maven in multiple ways. You can pass arguments like <changeLogFile> in Maven directly in your pom.xml file, in a liquibase.properties file referenced in your POM, as environment variables, or as JVM system properties.

Tip: For more information about the Maven configuration, see Configuring Maven.

Running the updateTestingRollback Maven goal

Running the updateTestingRollback goal requires a Maven project to be implemented.

To run the goal, type the following in your command prompt:

mvn liquibase:updateTestingRollback

When successful, the updateTestingRollback Maven goal produces the following output:
