JUnit tests always rollback the transactions

Question

I'm running a simple JUnit test agains an application DAO. The problem is that I always get:

javax.persistence.RollbackException: Transaction marked as rollbackOnly

The JUnit test is:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:com/my/app/context.xml"}
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager = "transactionManager", defaultRollback = false)
@Transactional
public class PerformanceTest {

    @Test
    @Transactional(propagation= Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
    @Rollback(false)
    public void testMsisdnCreationPerformance() {
        // Create a JPA entity

        // Persist JPA entity
    }
}

As you can see I'm declaring clearly not to rollback this method.

Does Spring JUnit support always sets rollback to true?

Answer 1

It should work, like you expect it, but may be you open another transaction within your class under test or you have an other feature/or bug somewhere.

Btw this annotations should be enougth:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:com/my/app/context.xml"}
@Transactional
public class PerformanceTest {

    @Test
    @Rollback(false)
    public void testMsisdnCreationPerformance() {
        // Create a JPA entity

        // Persist JPA entity
    }
}
