Hi,
I'm using Gradle 2.7 and Derby 10.12.1.1. I would like to use Derby to construct an in-memory database for which I can run unit tests. I'm not sure the right way to set this up but here is what I'm trying. I thought including ";create=true" in the URL would automatically launch the server but I guess not because I'm getting a "Error connecting to server localhost on port 1,527 with message Connection refused" error when my LIquibase plugin attempts to write to the db. Below is what I'm including in my build.gradle script buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.36' classpath 'org.apache.derby:derby:10.12.1.1' classpath 'org.apache.derby:derbyclient:10.12.1.1' classpath 'org.flywaydb:flyway-gradle-plugin:3.2.1' } } plugins { id "org.liquibase.gradle" version "1.1.1" } ... flyway { url = 'jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/test;create=true' user = 'sa' } liquibase { activities { main { File propsFile = new File(liquibasePropertiesFile) Properties properties = new Properties() properties.load(new FileInputStream(propsFile)) changeLogFile 'src/main/resources/db.changelog-master.xml' url properties['url'] username properties['username'] password properties['password'] } test { File propsFile = new File(liquibasePropertiesFile) Properties properties = new Properties() properties.load(new FileInputStream(propsFile)) changeLogFile 'src/main/resources/db.changelog-master.xml' url 'jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/test;create=true' username 'sa' } runList = 'main,test' } } Here is the exception I'm getting in LIquibase ...
