Some problems with hibernate after creating an entity - jhipster

Question

I'm using the last version of the generator-jhipster.
I have made a microservice-application, build it, it's a success.
Now I'm creating an entity and when I run it, I get this stack trace:

I didn't modify anything, did I do something wrong ?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and my solution may or may not apply to your case. In my case, a previous version of JHipster had generated the hibernate_sequence only for some database types, not including h2 used for tests.
Check your 00000000000000_initial_schema.xml liquibase file, it should contain the instructions for creating the hibernate_sequence sequence, for instance:
<changeSet id="00000000000000" author="jhipster" dbms="postgresql,oracle">
<createSequence sequenceName="hibernate_sequence" startValue="1000" incrementBy="1"/>
</changeSet>
This did not include h2, so the sequence was not generated during testing and thus Hibernate complained.
I removed the dbms="postgresql,oracle" part and then it worked.

Answer 2

your application is failing to load ApplicationContext. Check your folder where it is configured
#ContextConfiguration (locations = "classpath*:/spring/applicationContext*.xml")
this will load all of your application context xml file.

Answer 3

According to stack trace,
Your test class with SpringJUnit4ClassRunner needs a spring context and your spring configuration for this test class needs a bean that's name entityManagerFactory
You must add this bean to your test config(HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration)
For ex:
in Java Config:
#Bean
public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory(){
return new EntityManagerFactory(...){
....
}
}
or autowired:
#Autowire
private EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory;
