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     } } 

@See Spring Reference Chapter 9.3.5.4 Transaction management

Answer 2

Just add annotation Rollback and set the flag to false.

   @Test    @Rollback(false)
