How to stop rollback in TestNG?

Question

I have a test like this:

@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "file:war/WEB-INF/application-context.xml" })
public class ServiceImplTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests
{
    @Autowired
    private Service service;

    @Rollback(false)
    @Test
    public void testCreate()
    {
           .....
              //save an entity to table_A
      service.save(a);
    }
}

The table_A will be cleaned up; how to stop this cleaning action?

Answer 1

Try marking your test class as transactional, which will require you to use springs test classes also.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class),
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "file:war/WEB-INF/application-context.xml" })
@Transactional
public class ServiceImplTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests
{
    @Autowired
    private Service service;

    @Test
    @Rollback(false)
    public void testCreate()
    {
           .....
              //save an entity to table_A
      service.save(a);
    }
}

You could also try using @TransactionConfiguration, where txMgr is the name of your transaction manager.:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class),
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "file:war/WEB-INF/application-context.xml" })
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager="txMgr", defaultRollback=false)
public class ServiceImplTest extends AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests
{
  ....
}

The rollback functionality in test is dependent on how you manage your transactions, without that information it is hard to give you a solid answer.
