Answer 1

I had the same problem. in Intellj, when i want to use h2 database when my program was running i got the same error. For solve this problem i changed the connection url from

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:~/ipinbarbot

to:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:~/ipinbarbot;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE

And then my problem gone away. now i can connect to "ipinbarbot" database when my program is. If you use Hibernate, also don't forget to have:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update

goodluck
