liquibase 3.5.X can't find any files for includeAll with relative path

Question

We are using liquibase 3.4.2 and want to update to 3.5.3 but all my attempts failed because liquibase doesn't find any file which are included by using includeAll. I have tested liquibase 3.5.0, 3.5.1 and 3.5.3 (I skipped 3.5.2 because of this blog post).

My ChangeSet looks like this:

<databaseChangeLog xmlns="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog"
               xmlns:ext="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog-ext"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog-ext http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog/dbchangelog-ext.xsd http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog http://www.liquibase.org/xml/ns/dbchangelog/dbchangelog-3.4.xsd">

    <includeAll path="relative/dir1" relativeToChangelogFile="true" errorIfMissingOrEmpty="true"/>
    <includeAll path="relative/dir2" relativeToChangelogFile="true" errorIfMissingOrEmpty="true"/>

</databaseChangeLog>

My directory structure (inside a jar which is included in a war) looks like this:

• /some/dir/changeset.xml (the code above)
• /some/dir/relative/dir1/another-changeset.xml
• /some/dir/relative/dir2/another-changeset-1.xml
• /some/dir/relative/dir2/another-changeset-2.xml

I have already debugged through liquibase and got stuck at ClassLoaderResourceAccessor.java:108:

if (entry.getName().startsWith(path)) {

In my case entry.getName() returns some in the first loop, then some/dir and so on till some/dir/relative/dir1/another-changeset-1.xml, some/dir/relative/dir2/another-changeset-1.xml and some/dir/relative/dir2/another-changeset-2.xml. But the condition is always false because path contains something like jar:file:/C:/path/to/maven/project/war/target/example.war-1.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib/changesets-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/relative/dir1/ or jar:file:/C:/path/to/maven/project/war/target/example.war-1.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/lib/changesets-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/relative/dir2/

Is this really a bug in liquibase since 3.5.0? It works perfectly if I downgrade to liquibase 3.4.2. It works also if I use include instead of includeAll but in my real application I have much more changesets and I don't want to list them all manually.

I have found some information on this, but none of them helps me. For the sake of completeness:

• Liquibase-JIRA: https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-2851, https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-2863, https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-2898, https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-2974
• SO: Liquibase includeAll tag is ignored, includeAll path="" not working in 3.5.3, using java -jar method

Answer 1

Try this,

<includeAll path="file:/absolute/path/to/changeset/folder" relativeToChangelogFile="false" />

Start the path with file:/ and use an absolute path. This is not ideal, but I was able to get liquibase-maven-plugin 3.6.3 to load the changeset.
