spring-boot fails to load liquibase change on gradle build - intellij-idea

Question

I am using Spring-boot 1.1.1.RELEASE and I have an H2 database that is created at startup. When I run my main class from IntelliJ, all works well. When I run with "gradle build test" I get errors on my integration tests:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find changelog location: class path resource [db/changelog/db.changelog-master.yaml] (please add changelog or check your Liquibase configuration)

I have in both src/main/resources and src/test/resources an application.properties file that contains the following entry:
liquibase.changeLog=classpath:db/changelog/db.changelog-master.xml
And then in both src/main/resources/db/changelog and src/test/resources/db/changelog I have a db.changelog-master.xml When I build the project, I see that build/resources/test and build/resources/main have the application.properties, db/changelog/db.changelog-master.xml there.
This would appear to be a classpath issue, since it works from within IntelliJ and not the commandline. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong here?

Answer 1

I wanted to add my fix here (even though my build is Maven). My application.properties was in my root directory, but it would not find my db.changelog.xml classpath as directed from the root directory. It needed the classpath to be from my /resources directory. Maybe I have my application.properties in an unconventional location, but I thought it was to be put in the root directory.
My Fix
Though the actual path from my application.properties is this:
liquibase.change-log=classpath:/src/main/resources/liquibase/db.changelog.xml
It needed this path to find it:
liquibase.change-log=classpath:/liquibase/db.changelog.xml

Answer 2

I can see spock on the test classpath, so probably it's not using the right test context loader still (I wish they'd fix that). You need to add the loader or an initializer manually to your #ContextConfiguration. Docs here.
