EmbeddedPostgres not starting in JUnit 5 tests on Windows

[zodac]

Hi, I was previously using v1.2.6, but once I updated to v1.2.8+, my unit tests are unable to start up the embedded Postgres database. I've not changed anything else besides the version of the dependency from 1.2.6 -> 1.2.8 (1.2.7 works fine). I didn't see anything in the release that might require a change.

My code is a utility class used by my JUnit tests to retrieve a Connection as follows:

public class TestDbConnectionPool {
    private final DataSource dataSource;

    public TestDbConnectionPool() {
        try {
            dataSource = EmbeddedPostgres.builder()
                .start() // <-- Failing here
                .getPostgresDatabase();
            createDatabaseTables();
        } catch (final Exception e) {
            throw new AssertionError("Unable to start test DB", e);
        }
    }

    public Connection getConnection() {
        try {
            return dataSource.getConnection();
        } catch (final SQLException e) {
            throw new DatabaseConnectionException("Error opening connection", e);
        }
    }
}

The stack trace is:

Hi, thanks for the report. Maybe the problem could be related to #66?

Hmm, seems like it might be. I turned on the logs and did find the same error:

Is there any more information I should gather?

Upgraded my machine to Windows 10 (from Windows 7), and am no longer seeing this problem. Will close the issue.

Ok, thank you for letting me know.

Hello ,

For me also it is failing in the real environment, but passing in my local build. anything related to environment based ?

private static EmbeddedPostgres embeddedPostgres;

private DataSource embeddedPostgres() throws IOException { if (Objects.isNull(embeddedPostgres)) { embeddedPostgres = EmbeddedPostgres.builder().start(); // failing here in the real environment } return embeddedPostgres.getPostgresDatabase(); }
