I have a small problem. I have started writing tests for my small project. The project uses SpringBoot, standard JpaRepository from Spring, as a testing framework I am using Spock and for testing the database, I’m using PostgreSQL container from TestContainers. The problem is, that data between tests is being persisted, despite the @Transacional on each of the tests. The strangest part is, that in the logs I can see, that transaction is rolled back. I would appreciate any help.
So, these are the files:
- File with a shared container for tests, that all integration tests should extend from:
@SpringBootTest(classes = DatabaseMain.class, webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
@Testcontainers
class BaseTestIT extends Specification {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BaseTestIT.class);
@Shared
private static final PostgreSQLContainer POSTGRES_CONTAINER = new PostgreSQLContainer("postgres")
.withDatabaseName('test').withUsername(
'test').withPassword('test');
...
}
- File with configuration:
@Configuration
@PropertySource("database.properties")
public class ConfigurationIT {
private final String databaseUrl;
private final String databaseDialect;
private final String databaseType;
@Autowired
public ConfigurationIT(@Value("${test.database.url}") String databaseUrl,
@Value("${test.database.dialect}") String databaseDialect,
@Value("${test.database.type}") String databaseType) {
this.databaseDialect = databaseDialect;
this.databaseUrl = databaseUrl;
this.databaseType = databaseType;
}
@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
entityManagerFactoryBean.setPersistenceProviderClass(HibernatePersistenceProvider.class);
entityManagerFactoryBean.setPersistenceUnitName("testIT");
entityManagerFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan("com.testproject");
Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<>();
properties.put("spring.jpa.database", this.databaseType);
properties.put("spring.jpa.database-platform", this.databaseDialect);
properties.put("hibernate.dialect", this.databaseDialect);
properties.put("hibernate.connection.url", this.databaseUrl);
entityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaPropertyMap(properties);
return entityManagerFactoryBean;
}
@Bean
@Autowired
public JpaTransactionManager transactionManager(LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean emf) {
JpaTransactionManager transactionManager = new JpaTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setEntityManagerFactory(emf.getObject());
return transactionManager;
}
}
- application.yaml
spring:
datasource:
driver-class-name: org.testcontainers.jdbc.ContainerDatabaseDriver
url: ${test.database.url}
username: ${test.database.username}
password: ${test.database.password}
jpa:

database: ${test.database.type}
- and test file:
@SpringBootTest(classes = DatabaseMain.class, webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT)
@Testcontainers
class ArchitectTestIT extends BaseTestIT {
private static final String NAME = "name";
private static final String LAST_NAME = "last_name";

The last test was a bit modified, just to show the problem. As I do not save any of the Entities, it should pass, while it does not:
Condition not satisfied:
exchange.getBody().size() == 0

So I’m a bit stuck, as for what could be the reason why those are not actually being rolled back and I would appreciate any help with that. Thanks!

Answer
Your tests start an app that listens on a real port. And you use TestRestTemplate to make HTTP calls. It’s the same as if you ran your test from a remote machine – would you expect @Transactional on such tests to be some how applied to the app?
@Transactional will work only if you invoke your endpoint directly, without any network calls:
- either inject endpoint object directly to your test and call its method
- or use MockMvc (or RestAssured+MockMvc) – it will also eventually call the endpoint directly
Both of these options will simplify debugging – you’ll be able to see in call stack which test is calling your production code at the moment.
PS: also it shouldn’t be a problem when your data is kept between test runs. You can isolate your tests with randomization.
