Dear all,

I am looking for a way to intergrate Liquibase in my Arquillian-Setup in a better way as I do it now. We use Liquibase to create our database schema in our database server. Hence I need to run Liquibase before any unit test. Since test shouldn't depend on Maven (they must run in any IDE as well as with Maven) I decided to run Liquibase programmatically before Arquillian starts its test.

My first approach was to run Liquibase from a method annotated with @BeforeSuite (I am using TestNG). Unfortunately this approach failed since Arquillian already uses @BeforeTest for TestNG based tests and this method was always excuted before my method.

At the end I copied the Arquillian class for TestNG and added the stuff I needed. I don't like to do such things, since I have to maintain this copied class for every new Arquillian version.

So the question is: Is there a better may to use Arquillian together with Liquibase?

Bye,

Oliver
