`@SqlMergeMode`

@SqlMergeMode is used to annotate a test class or test method to configure whether method-level @Sql declarations are merged with class-level @Sql declarations. If @SqlMergeMode is not declared on a test class or test method, the OVERRIDE merge mode will be used by default. With the OVERRIDE mode, method-level @Sql declarations will effectively override class-level @Sql declarations.

Note that a method-level @SqlMergeMode declaration overrides a class-level declaration.

The following example shows how to use @SqlMergeMode at the class level.

Java
Kotlin

@SpringJUnitConfig(TestConfig.class)
@Sql("/test-schema.sql")
@SqlMergeMode(MERGE) (1)
class UserTests {

	@Test
	@Sql("/user-test-data-001.sql")
	void standardUserProfile() {
		// run code that relies on test data set 001
	}
}

1	Set the `@Sql` merge mode to `MERGE` for all test methods in the class.

@SpringJUnitConfig(TestConfig::class)
@Sql("/test-schema.sql")
@SqlMergeMode(MERGE) (1)
class UserTests {

	@Test
	@Sql("/user-test-data-001.sql")
	fun standardUserProfile() {
		// run code that relies on test data set 001
	}
}

1	Set the `@Sql` merge mode to `MERGE` for all test methods in the class.

The following example shows how to use @SqlMergeMode at the method level.

Java
Kotlin

@SpringJUnitConfig(TestConfig.class)
@Sql("/test-schema.sql")
class UserTests {

	@Test
	@Sql("/user-test-data-001.sql")
	@SqlMergeMode(MERGE) (1)
	void standardUserProfile() {
		// run code that relies on test data set 001
	}
}

1	Set the `@Sql` merge mode to `MERGE` for a specific test method.

@SpringJUnitConfig(TestConfig::class)
@Sql("/test-schema.sql")
class UserTests {

	@Test
	@Sql("/user-test-data-001.sql")
	@SqlMergeMode(MERGE) (1)
	fun standardUserProfile() {
		// run code that relies on test data set 001
	}
}

1	Set the `@Sql` merge mode to `MERGE` for a specific test method.
