starting and stopping hsqldb from unit tests

Question

I\'m trying to create integration tests using hsqldb in an in memory mode. At the moment, I have to start the hsqldb server from the command line before running the unit tests.

Answer 1

check my hsqldb maven plugin : https://github.com/avianey/hsqldb-maven-plugin

You can just start/stop it like jetty-maven-plugin or tomee-maven-plugin for your tests :

    
    fr.avianey.mojo
    hsqldb-maven-plugin
    1.0.0

    
    
        org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
        mem:test
        
localhost
        xdb
        sa
        
        SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_USERS
    

    
    
        
            start-hsqldb
            pre-integration-test
            
                start
            
        
        
            stop-hsqldb
            post-integration-test
            
                stop
