jpa problems running multiple tests with spring - spring

my problem is that when I run tests individually the test work properly but when I run all the tests several tests start to fail.
It looks to be a problem of the applicationContext I have 3 applicationContext but the applicationContext-test import the 2 before.
Some times I do
#applicationContext(applicatonContext1.xml)
and other times
#applicationContext(applicationContext-test.xml)
I get different exceptions for different tests:
SQLGrammarException: could not execute query.
Detached entity exceptions
ConstraintViolation exception.
Some tests work properly and some no, but I don't know why.
Thanks

PutDirtiesContext on test to allow context to be reloaded each time you run test.
Different #ApplicationContext should work fine. I think you not clean the database in your test (because without #DirtiesContext spring will use same context (and same DB) for same #ApplicationContext).

DataJPATest attempts to load everything

I have my application, with a lot of components.
I'd like to test my queries so I annotated my tests with:
#DataJPATest
Problem is that it also tries to load every single bean!
What am I missing?

start the Spring Boot application once, before Cucumber tests run

I am writing some BDD tests using Cucumber for my Spring Boot application (v2.2.1), and it works OK.
However, I am facing some performance issue, because the application gets started/stopped for every scenario in the feature file : I am using in-memory DB with Liquibase, so for each scenario, this gets executed (takes a few seconds).
Sure, it's currently guaranteed that my scenarios are very well isolated.. Maybe in some cases I will want this behaviour, but right now, most of my feature files would benefit from a one time set up : since each scenario sets up different records (with no overlap) it needs in the in-memory DB, I could theoretically executed my scenarios in parallel on a single Spring Boot application running.
I saw https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2017/02/integration-testing-strategies-spring-boot-microservices-part-2/ , but it requires to have built the application first, then start it from the jar.
Isn't there a way to do the same, but with the application started once from the Cucumber runner ? any example somewhere ?
Thanks to #mpkorstanje link, I was able to find the issue : while trying to replicate the suggestion in my project, I discovered that one of the config that was scanned had a #DirtiesContext(classMode = DirtiesContext.ClassMode.AFTER_CLASS) annotation.. So that was the issue. Now I need to look at a workaround like what is suggested here : #DirtiesContext tears context down after every cucumber test scenario, not class

How does Spring Boot Test keep the context across multiple test suites?

I was reading through the guide for using Spring Boot Test and there was a paragraph that got me confused.
“As our profiles get richer, it's tempting to swap every now and then in our integration tests. There are convenient tools to do so, like #ActiveProfiles. However, every time we pull a test with a new profile, a new ApplicationContext gets created.”
https://www.baeldung.com/spring-tests
So it assumes that if all tests are run under the same profile, there is only one ApplicationContext created — but how is it possible? I thought that all the objects are recreated for each test suite anyway. Am I missing something?
The official reference says that it's cached.
https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/testing.html#testing-ctx-management
But how does it get loaded into the JUnit runner or Spock one across multiple test suites?
What was missing in my understanding is the fact that all the test suites are run as a part of a single program, so it's easy to cache any objects that are required by all of them, including Spring context.

How to properly cleanup/close database after test class

I've problem with spring boot integration test. I have aproximately 300 tests and during their execution more than 150 postgres connections are opened.
Tests are annotated almost everywhere by SpringRunner. Sometimes there is more annotations.
This also causes that the test are executing without the end probably.
In my opinion database is not removed with context change but have no idea how could I invoke this process.

Spring transactional tests - prepare data in BeforeClass

I would like to create some data in #BeforeClass and use them in my #Test method.
After all tests are finished (failed or succeeded), I would like to rollback the data.
Can this be achieved using the annotations #BeforeClass, #Transactional, without having to clean up the data explicitly?
We had a similar problem here. Our solution was to give each test class an embedded H2 database (just takes a couple of seconds to setup the first one; after that, it's not really noticeable anymore).
That allowed us to load any kind of test data into the database, no need to clean that up after all tests have run.
Each test still gets its own transaction, so after each individual test, the per-class database is rolled back to the original state.
To debug tests, we would annotate the individual test with #Transactional(rollback=false), so we could look at the database with an SQL tool.
Another test would examine all tests classes, looking for this annotation to make sure no one accidentally commits it.
