Liquibase simple changelog NullPointerException - liquibase

Question

I've got simple migrations setup using Liquibase. Unfortunately when I try to addColumn it causes a NullPointerException. (Creating tables works fine).
// File structure
pom.xml
src/main/resources/liquibase/
db.changelog.xml
liquibase.properties
changesets/
simple.changeset.xml
// pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.liquibase</groupId>
<artifactId>liquibase-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${liquibase.version}</version>
<configuration>
<propertyFile>src/main/resources/liquibase/liquibase.properties</propertyFile>
<changeLogFile>src/main/resources/liquibase/db.changelog.xml</changeLogFile>
<promptOnNonLocalDatabase>false</promptOnNonLocalDatabase>
</configuration>
</plugin>
// simple.changeset.xml
<databaseChangeLog
xmlns="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog
http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog/dbchangelog-3.2.xsd">
<changeSet id="1517019028" author="me">
<createTable tableName="test">
<column name="test_field_1" type="varchar(255)"></column>
</createTable>
<addColumn tableName="test">
<column name="test_field_2" type="varchar(255)"></column>
</addColumn>
</changeSet>
</databaseChangeLog>
The createTable command succeeds but the addColumn command always fails. Running mvn clean package liquibase:update generates the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Anyone run across this issue before? From what I can tell from the docs my setup is fairly typical yet I can't find anything similar to this issue online.
Here is a sample repo I created to display the issue: https://github.com/cha55son/liquibase-add-column-bug

Answer 1

This might be a error with liquibase drivers for SQLite.
https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-2468
If that's the case, you might want to switch to another DB.
Alternatively, you can try to use raw SQL in the changeset instead (based on your github code):
<changeSet id="2" author="me">
<sql>
ALTER TABLE TEST ADD COLUMN TEST_FIELD varchar(255)
</sql>
</changeSet>
