Integration test fails when executing "mvn test" in a web project with JPA that has a schema.sql file

When having a web-based project with a JPA based repository, @WebAppConfiguration integration test fails when executing mvn clean test when there is a schema.sql file present , despite setting spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto= as described in chapter 63.3 Initialize a database using Spring JDBC:

If you want to use the schema.sql initialization in a JPA app (with Hibernate) then ddl-auto=create-drop will lead to errors if Hibernate tries to create the same tables. To avoid those errors set ddl-auto explicitly to “” (preferable) or “none”.

Step by step:

1. Clone the reference project from GitHub: https://github.com/matsev/springboot.sql.jpa.bug
2. Execute mvn clean test

Expected result:

• All tests should pass

Actual result:

BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration' 
[...]
BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private javax.sql.DataSource org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.JpaBaseConfiguration.dataSource;
[...]
BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceAutoConfiguration$NonEmbeddedConfiguration.class]: Initialization of bean failed;
[...]
BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSourceInitializer': Invocation of init method failed;
[...]
ScriptStatementFailedException: Failed to execute SQL script statement at line 1 of resource URL [[...]/target/classes/schema.sql]: CREATE TABLE person ( id BIGINT GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255) ); nested exception is java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: object name already exists: PERSON in statement [CREATE TABLE person ( id BIGINT GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255) )]

Comments:

• The test pass the schema.sql file is deleted and the spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto= is removed from the application.properties file
• The test pass if executed from within IntelliJ
• The test pass if @WebAppConfiguration is removed from the PersonControllerTest class.
• Changing the value of spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto to none does not prevent the test from failing

Environment:

• Spring Boot 1.1.5.RELEASE
• Maven 3.2.3
• Java 1.8.0_20

@sunkuet02 this issue is four years old so I am not sure what exact problem you’re facing. If you think you’ve found a bug in Spring Boot, please create a new issue with a small sample we can run ourselves to reproduce the problem.

I am facing this problem as of now. Is there any work around solutions ?
