This plugin provides the capability of running and populating an embedded H2 database as part of a gradle build, perfect for integration testing with embedded web containers.
To use the h2 plugin, include the following in your buildscript:
apply plugin: 'h2' buildscript{repositories{add(neworg.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.URLResolver()){name ='GitHub' addArtifactPattern 'http://cloud.github.com/downloads/[organisation]/[module]/[module]-[revision].[ext]' } mavenCentral() // or alternatively your own maven resolver } dependencies{classpath 'jamescarr:h2-gradle-plugin:0.8.2' classpath 'com.h2database:h2:1.3.164'// choose your own version } } h2{tcpPort =9092 webPort =8082 example{scripts = [ 'src/test/resources/cars.sql' , 'src/test/resources/init-data.sql' ] } } the inner closure databaseName will create a database with that name and populate it with scripts defined by the script variable. You can have multiple database closures that will create multiple databases.
apply plugin: 'h2' h2{tcpPort =9092 webPort =8082 one{scripts = [ 'src/test/resources/cars.sql' , 'src/test/resources/init-data.sql' ] } two{scripts = [ 'src/test/resources/boats.sql' , 'src/test/resources/init-data.sql' ] } } jettyRun.doFirst{h2start.execute() } tomcatRun.doFirst{h2start.execute() } More to come.
