Liquibase 4.13.0 breaks migration using 'addAtPosition' on h2

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Liquibase Version: 4.13.0 Liquibase Integration & Version: <Pick one: CLI, maven, gradle, spring boot, servlet, etc.> spring-boot Liquibase Extension(s) & Version:

Database Vendor & Version: H2 2.1.214

Operating System Type & Version: Ubuntu 21.10

Infrastructure Type/Provider: <AWC, GCS, Azure, VM, etc>

Description

When updating from Liquibase 4.12.0 to 4.13.0 we notice migrations fail with the following error:

liquibase.exception.ValidationFailedException: Validation Failed:
     1 changes have validation failures
          addAtPosition is not allowed on h2, db/changelog/changes/202111221630.xml::xx:xx

Steps To Reproduce

We have a migration containing the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<databaseChangeLog
  xmlns="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog
                      http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog/dbchangelog-4.3.xsd"
  objectQuotingStrategy="QUOTE_ONLY_RESERVED_WORDS">
  <changeSet id="1627309304232-8" author="xx">
    <addColumn  tableName="xx" >
      <column name="xx"
              position="2"
              type="varchar(50)">
      </column>
    </addColumn>
  </changeSet>
</databaseChangeLog>

Actual Behavior

On version 4.13.0 this results in the following error:

2022-07-21 12:58:27,480 ERROR | main | org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication              | Application run failed

I’m mainly interested in my changelogs not breaking, and your change breaks them both ways… Leaving the postition=“x” in breaks things, removing the attribute also breaks things, since the signature of the changeset changes.

And yes, there is also the thing about different platforms, which is one of the main selling points for Liquibase 😃

Thanks for all the input and feedback. We absolutely will consider something like a warning that has to be turned on. I do think it’s important that end-users are told explicitly that your changelog is not resulting in the database change in your changeset because it is not supported by that database. Stay tuned.
