Spring boot - disable Liquibase at startup

Question

I want to have Liquibase configured with my spring boot aplication, so I added dependencies to pom.xml and set the path to master.xml in application.properties. This works fine

Answer 1

If you want to run Liquibase manually, you could use the liquibase maven plugin. Just add something like this to your pom.xml:

  
    org.liquibase
    liquibase-maven-plugin
    ${liquibase.version}
    
      src/main/liquibase/master.xml
      src/main/liquibase/liquibase.properties
      false
    
  

You can take a look at the plugin documentation for the configuration details.

And don't use the liquibase support from Spring Boot, as it is only meant to be used in runtime. Just remove the liquibase starter and/or any related dependencies as you'll only need the maven plugin.
