Tests fail when executed from maven but not from Intellij

Neets :

I'm writing my unit tests using JUnit, PowerMock, Spring Test and an in-memory H2 database. When I run the tests from Intellij everything runs correctly. But when I run the tests from maven (either from Intellij or from the command line) they fail.

This is my config:

   @EnableTransactionManagement
   @EnableJpaRepositories("my.app.repository")
   public class ApplicationTestConfiguration {
      @Bean
      public SimpleDriverDataSource dataSource() {
         SimpleDriverDataSource simpleDriverDataSource = new SimpleDriverDataSource();
         simpleDriverDataSource.setDriverClass(org.h2.Driver.class);
         simpleDriverDataSource.setUrl("jdbc:h2:mem:./ScenarioService;DATABASE_TO_UPPER=false;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1");
         simpleDriverDataSource.setUsername("sa");
         simpleDriverDataSource.setPassword("sa");
         return simpleDriverDataSource;
      }
      (...)
      private Properties hibernateProperties() {
         Properties props = new Properties();
         props.setProperty("hibernate.dialect","org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect");
         props.setProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create-drop");
         props.setProperty("hibernate.show_sql","true");
         return props;
      }
   }

This is a sample test:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {WebAppInitializer.class,ApplicationTestConfiguration.class, DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener.class})
@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
@DirtiesContext(classMode = DirtiesContext.ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD)
public final class ReadTicketsTest {

    @Autowired //this is a spring JPARepository
    protected TestRepository testRepository;

    @Before
    public void init() {
         testRepository.save(engineConfig);
    }

    @Test
    public void ticketShouldBeRead() {
        //assertion code
    }
}

When I run the tests from intelliJ and they succeed, in the hibernate logs I see something like this:

Hibernate: drop table EngineConfigs if exists
Hibernate: create table EngineConfigs (id binary(16) not null, created datetime(6) DEFAULT NULL, customData MEDIUMTEXT, customerId binary(16) not null, signature varchar(255), signatureVersion integer, updated datetime(6) DEFAULT NULL, advancedConfiguration TEXT, engineConfigName varchar(255) not null, engineServiceName varchar(255) not null, locked boolean, probabilityMaximum integer not null, primary key (id))

Hibernate: insert into EngineConfigs (created, customData, customerId, signature, signatureVersion, updated, advancedConfiguration, engineConfigName, engineServiceName, locked, probabilityMaximum, id) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
Hibernate: drop table EngineConfigs if exists

Which makes sense, because it is expected that it will create the database, execute the tests (hence the insert) and then drop all tables due to the @DirtiesContextAnnotation. But when I run the tests from maven, in the hibernate logs I see something like this:

Hibernate: drop table EngineConfigs if exists

Hibernate: drop table EngineConfigs if exists

Followed by the actual error:

This error is the exact same one that happens if I remove the parameter ;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1 from the connection URL and I run the tests from IntelliJ. But with the parameter, the tests work from IntelliJ but not from maven! I don't know what could be causing this, AFAIK maven shouldn't affect the execution of the tests. It seems like the connection to the database is being closed before executing the tests. Help!

Neets :

The problem was with a library I was using. Since I had the library project loaded into IntelliJ, when I ran the tests manually, the library code was being used. But Maven used the library from the .m2 repository, which didn't have the .jar up to date. This out of date jar had something that was causing the creation of the table EngineConfigs to fail. In case anyone is facing the same problem, a useful trick is to remove the ":mem" from the database connection URL and inspect the *.trace.db file that is generated when running the tests. That trace file will give you information about the real underlying issue.
