Spring boot test @Transactional not saving

Question

I\'am trying to do a simple Integration test using Spring Boot Test in order to test the e2e use case. My test does not work because I\'am not able to make the repository sa

Answer 1

For each @Test function that makes a DB transaction, if you want to permanently persist the changes, then you can use @Rollback(false)

@Rollback(false)
@Test
public void createPerson() throws Exception {
    int databaseSizeBeforeCreate = personRepository.findAll().size();

    // Create the Person
    restPersonMockMvc.perform(post("/api/people")
        .contentType(TestUtil.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8)
        .content(TestUtil.convertObjectToJsonBytes(person)))
        .andExpect(status().isCreated());

    // Validate the Person in the database
    List personList = personRepository.findAll();
    assertThat(personList).hasSize(databaseSizeBeforeCreate + 1);
    Person testPerson = personList.get(personList.size() - 1);
    assertThat(testPerson.getFirstName()).isEqualTo(DEFAULT_FIRST_NAME);
    assertThat(testPerson.getLastName()).isEqualTo(DEFAULT_LAST_NAME);
    assertThat(testPerson.getAge()).isEqualTo(DEFAULT_AGE);
    assertThat(testPerson.getCity()).isEqualTo(DEFAULT_CITY);
}

I tested it with a SpringBoot project generated by jHipster:

• SpringBoot: 1.5.4
• jUnit 4.12
• Spring 4.3.9
