How to run liquibase on a linux system

Question

I work with Liquibase on Linux, does anyone know how to run the datbasechangelog.xml file from the Linux command line step by step? And what is the idea of ​​the database and how it works?

Answer 1

For our projects, we created ant tasks for this. For example, if you want to migrate, the ant file might look like this:

ant-migrations.xml

<project name="Migrations" basedir="." default="update-database"> <property file="./liquibasetasks.properties" /> <path id="master-classpath" description="Master classpath"> <fileset dir="..\lib"> <include name="*.jar" /> </fileset> </path> <target name="update-database"> <fail unless="db.changelog.file">db.changelog.file not set</fail> <fail unless="database.url">database.url not set</fail> <fail unless="database.username">database.username not set</fail> <fail unless="database.password">database.password not set</fail> <taskdef resource="liquibasetasks.properties"> <classpath refid="master-classpath"/> </taskdef> <updateDatabase changeLogFile="${db.changelog.file}" driver="${database.driver}" url="${database.url}" username="${database.username}" password="${database.password}" promptOnNonLocalDatabase="${prompt.user.if.not.local.database}" dropFirst="false" classpathref="master-classpath" /> </target></project> 

Make sure your liquibase file is listed in the classpath element.

The properties file contains links that are relevant to your environment:

liquibasetasks.properties

 db.changelog.file=YOUR_MIGRATION_FILE.xml ################################# ## DB Settings ################################# database.driver= database.username= database.password= database.url= 

So, now we have installed and configured the ant .. task with everything saved, you should be able to start the migration by entering the following at the command line:

 linux>ant -f ant-migrations.xml update-database 

Hope this helps!
