Summary by Sourcery

Add an opt-in, configurable row count check feature that integrates with core test lifecycles to detect tables left dirty or wrongly cleaned, with supporting configuration, documentation, and test coverage, and update the project version for the new capability.

New Features:

  • Introduce an opt-in row count check that snapshots table row counts before a test and verifies them afterward, reporting unexpected changes via a dedicated UnexpectedRowCountException.
  • Add configurable row count check properties and feature flags to DatabaseConfig, including exclude-table patterns and a pluggable RowCounter implementation, defaulting to QueryPerTableRowCounter.

Bug Fixes:

  • Ensure integration tests using shared tables configure DELETE_ALL teardown operations so prep data does not leak into subsequent tests.

Enhancements:

  • Wire the row count check into DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase and DbUnitExtension so tests can automatically detect missed teardown or accidental cleanup of reference data, while skipping verification when the test itself has already failed.
  • Provide a reusable RowCountChecker helper and supporting row count domain types to encapsulate baseline management, counting, and difference reporting.
  • Add JUnit 5 extensions and annotations to isolate row count check-related system properties during tests.

Build:

  • Bump project version to 3.6.0-SNAPSHOT and record the row count check feature in changes.xml.

Documentation:

  • Extend the site navigation and component documentation to cover the new RowCountCheck feature and related configuration properties.

Tests:

  • Add extensive unit and integration test coverage for the row count check lifecycle, configuration resolution, row counting strategies, and DbUnitExtension/DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase wiring, including contract tests for RowCounter implementations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an opt-in diagnostic that compares database table row counts before and after tests.
    • Reports unexpected row changes, supports excluded tables, and can be configured through settings or system properties.
    • Integrated checks into test setup and cleanup workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Added configuration guidance, best practices, and troubleshooting information for row-count checks.
  • Chores

    • Updated the project version to 3.6.0-SNAPSHOT.

This is not a point release with bug fixes but a minor release with lots
of new features.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Wire row count baseline capture/verification into the JUnit 5 DbUnitExtension lifecycle using RowCountChecker, with safe handling of null connections and test failures.
  • Store both IDatabaseTester and a RowCountChecker in the ExtensionContext.Store during beforeTestExecution.
  • Capture a row count baseline via a fresh IDatabaseConnection before tester.onSetup(), closing the connection quietly.
  • On afterTestExecution, verify the baseline via a new connection after tester.onTearDown() only if a baseline exists and the test method did not throw.
  • Add helper methods to capture and verify row counts and to close connections with logged warnings on SQLException.
  • Update Javadoc to describe the row count check behavior and exception semantics.
src/main/java/org/dbunit/junit/jupiter/DbUnitExtension.java
src/test/java/org/dbunit/junit/jupiter/DbUnitExtensionRowCountCheckTest.java
Integrate row count checking into DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase’s preTest/postTest/cleanupData flow using a shared RowCountChecker and expose configuration hooks.
  • Add a RowCountChecker field to manage baselines tied to the test case lifecycle.
  • Capture the row count baseline in preTest() using the reusable connection, with proper connection acquisition/closure on exceptions.
  • Discard the baseline in postTest(boolean) when verifyData is false so failed tests skip row count verification.
  • Verify the baseline in cleanupData() after tearDown, propagating UnexpectedRowCountException while still closing connections.
  • Add getRowCountCheck()/setRowCountCheck() accessors to override or inspect the underlying RowCountCheck.

src/test/java/org/dbunit/DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseDiIT.java
src/test/java/org/dbunit/DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseExtIT.java
Extend DatabaseConfig with new row count check feature flag, exclude-table patterns, and pluggable RowCounter defaulting to QueryPerTableRowCounter, plus tests and property lookup coverage.
  • Define FEATURE_ROW_COUNT_CHECK, PROPERTY_ROW_COUNT_CHECK_EXCLUDE_TABLES, and PROPERTY_ROW_COUNTER constants and register them in ALL_PROPERTIES and BOOLEAN_FEATURES.
  • Initialize FEATURE_ROW_COUNT_CHECK to false, PROPERTY_ROW_COUNT_CHECK_EXCLUDE_TABLES to an empty String[] and PROPERTY_ROW_COUNTER to a QueryPerTableRowCounter in the constructor.
  • Add tests asserting defaults for the new feature and properties and their ConfigProperty registration and type.
  • Support setting PROPERTY_ROW_COUNTER via string-based properties, reflectively instantiating the specified RowCounter implementation.
src/main/java/org/dbunit/database/DatabaseConfig.java
src/test/java/org/dbunit/database/DatabaseConfigTest.java
Introduce the core row count check implementation in org.dbunit.database.rowcount, including configuration, counting, snapshot/difference modeling, and error reporting, with a default query-per-table counter and JUnit 5 helpers.
  • Add RowCounter interface and QueryPerTableRowCounter implementation that issues one SELECT COUNT() per table via IDatabaseConnection.getRowCount.
  • Add RowCountSnapshot and RowCountDifference value types to hold counts and compute per-table deltas with human-readable toString output.
  • Add RowCountCheckConfiguration to resolve enablement, exclude patterns (via ExcludeTableFilter), and RowCounter from DatabaseConfig plus dbunit. system property overrides.
  • Add RowCountCheck to capture/verify baselines using the configured RowCounter and exclude patterns, throwing UnexpectedRowCountException when counts change.
  • Add RowCountChecker to manage a lazily-resolved RowCountCheck and a baseline across a caller’s lifecycle, with discardBaseline()/hasBaseline() and optional custom RowCountCheck injection.
  • Add UnexpectedRowCountException to bundle RowCountDifference instances into a detailed multi-table failure message.
  • Add ClearRowCountCheckSystemProperties annotation + extension to isolate tests from global dbunit.rowCountCheck* system properties.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b158b

The row-count feature currently has unresolved correctness and resource-lifecycle defects: dropped tables can cause an unexpected null failure while newly added tables are missed, setup can break cached database connections, and integration tests can exhaust database connections. The PR is not merge-ready until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • The store key for the row count checker is duplicated as a string constant in DbUnitExtensionRowCountCheckTest rather than reusing the production constant, which makes the test brittle if the key ever changes; consider exposing the key via a package-visible constant or helper to keep them aligned.

Assert the counted values, and complete one test name.

createConnectionReturningRowCount(int rowCount) accepts a count, but every test passes 0 and no test asserts the returned values. The contract states counts must be exact, so the contract test never checks that rule. Add a test that uses a non-zero count and asserts each entry equals it.

The name at line 81 also omits the starting-condition segment required by the test<MethodName>_<StartingStateConditions>_<AssertedOutcome> form.

Consider sharing this tester factory instead of copying it.

A future change to the teardown policy must then be applied in three places.

Move the factory into one shared test class and reuse it. The change itself is correct: DELETE_ALL at teardown removes the prep rows the row-count check would otherwise report.

- Around line 92-126: Update RowCountSnapshot.difference to compare the union of
baseline and current row-count table keys, treating absent counts as zero so
dropped or newly added tables produce RowCountDifference entries rather than a
NullPointerException. Add tests in RowCountCheckTest for both a baseline table
missing during verification and a table added during verification; no direct
change is required in RowCountCheck.java because verify already delegates
comparison there.

method’s throws contract.

Nitpick comments:
In `@src/main/java/org/dbunit/database/rowcount/RowCountDifference.java`:
- Around line 46-135: Update every new public constructor and method `@param` and
`@return` description in
src/main/java/org/dbunit/database/rowcount/RowCountDifference.java lines 46-135,
src/main/java/org/dbunit/database/rowcount/RowCountSnapshot.java lines 45-71,
and src/main/java/org/dbunit/database/rowcount/UnexpectedRowCountException.java
lines 48-60 so each is a complete sentence beginning with a capital letter and
ending with a period; apply the documentation-only changes to the relevant
constructors and methods.

In `@src/test/java/org/dbunit/database/rowcount/RowCounterContractTest.java`:
- Around line 52-93: Update the RowCounter contract tests to include a non-zero
createConnectionReturningRowCount value and assert that every returned value
equals that exact count. Also rename
testCountRows_keysMatchTheSuppliedNamesExactly to include its starting-condition
segment while preserving its existing assertion behavior.

In `@src/test/java/org/dbunit/DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseDiIT.java`:
- Around line 111-120: Consolidate the identical makeDatabaseTester() factory
into one shared test class, then update DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseDiIT,
DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseExtIT, and DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseTest to
reuse it. Preserve the existing DatabaseEnvironment connection setup and
DELETE_ALL teardown behavior.

Addressed the review feedback from CodeRabbit and Sourcery, pushed as fixups (branch not yet merged to main):

Fixed, including two real bugs:

  • RowCountSnapshot#difference() assumed both snapshots shared an identical key set, throwing NullPointerException when they didn't (a table dropped/created between capture and verify, or two connections enumerating differently). Now compares the union of both key sets, treating an absent count as 0.
  • DbUnitExtension closed whatever connection tester.getConnection() returned after capturing the baseline — but DefaultDatabaseTester(connection) returns that same connection from every call, so this broke the onSetup() that runs right after. Stopped closing it; that connection's lifecycle belongs to the tester's IOperationListener, not this check. Added a regression test with a fixed-connection tester.
  • DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseRowCountCheckIT#cleanUp() never closed the connection it opened every test — now closed in a finally block.
  • Doc nitpicks: VerifyTableDefinition requirement, UnionAllRowCounter framed as a sketch not production code, News entry grammar, teardown-failure-also-skips-verification wording.
  • Test/code nitpicks: ClearRowCountCheckSystemPropertiesExtension JavaDoc, a test renamed to match what it asserts, JavaDoc @param/@return sentences capitalized, RowCounterContractTest now asserts a non-zero count is returned exactly, DbUnitExtension's store keys exposed package-visible so DbUnitExtensionRowCountCheckTest reuses them instead of duplicating the literals (Sourcery).

Declined:

  • properties.adoc's rowcounter API link — every other apidocs link in that file already uses the relative apidocs/... form (it's a top-level page), not /dbunit/apidocs/...; that's the file's own established convention, not an inconsistency.
  • Consolidating makeDatabaseTester() across DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseDiIT/ExtIT/Test — the finding's premise doesn't hold: DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseTest's version is a different, mock-based method, not a duplicate of the real-database one in DiIT/ExtIT. Tagged low-value by the reviewer itself, and touches pre-existing files beyond this PR's scope.

Full unit suite (2183 tests), HSQLDB integration tests, the field test with the check itself enabled (-Ddbunit.rowCountCheck=true), checkstyle, javadoc, and a full site build are all green.

Adds the core of an opt-in diagnostic that compares every table's row
count before and after a test, catching both a table the developer
forgot to list for teardown and a table they listed that should never
have been cleaned. Not yet wired into any test lifecycle.

* Add RowCounter (strategy interface) and QueryPerTableRowCounter (the
  v1 implementation, looping IDatabaseConnection.getRowCount()).
* Add RowCountSnapshot and RowCountDifference as immutable values, and
  UnexpectedRowCountException to report every affected table with
  direction-specific advice.
* Add RowCountCheckConfiguration to resolve enabled/exclude
  patterns/RowCounter from a dbunit.* system property, then
  DatabaseConfig, then defaults; and RowCountCheck to orchestrate
  table enumeration, exclusion filtering, and counting.
* Register FEATURE_ROW_COUNT_CHECK, PROPERTY_ROW_COUNT_CHECK_EXCLUDE_TABLES,
  and PROPERTY_ROW_COUNTER on DatabaseConfig, defaulting to disabled.

…e tests

Wires RowCountCheck into DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase: preTest()
captures the baseline before setupData(), cleanupData() verifies it
after the tear down operation runs, and postTest(false) discards the
baseline so a test that already failed does not also report a row
count difference as noise. Both capture and verify reuse the
connection shared with the rest of the test's lifecycle, so the
check costs no extra physical connection.

* Add getRowCountCheck()/setRowCountCheck(), consistent with the
  class's existing configuration style, so a custom RowCounter or
  configuration can be injected; otherwise one is lazily built from
  the shared connection's DatabaseConfig.
* Add DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCaseRowCountCheckIT, covering a row
  leaked into a table absent from prep/expected, a reference table
  wrongly listed for cleanup, and the exclude list silencing either
  - against a real database connection.
* Document the check in testcases/PrepAndExpectedTestCase.adoc (where
  the underlying problem is felt) and recommend a periodic, not
  permanent, enabled run in bestpractices.adoc.

Adds capture/compare to beforeTestExecution/afterTestExecution,
reusing RowCountCheck unchanged. Each capture/verify acquires and
closes its own connection from the resolved IDatabaseTester,
independent of whatever connection onSetup()/onTearDown() use
internally, so the check never entangles with the tester's own
connection lifecycle (e.g. a shared CachingConnectionProvider).

* Skip verification when the test method itself threw
  (ExtensionContext.getExecutionException().isPresent()), matching
  DefaultPrepAndExpectedTestCase's postTest(false) rationale: the
  database is in an unknown state, so a count difference would be
  noise around the real failure.
* Tolerate IDatabaseTester.getConnection() returning null (e.g. a
  test double, as DbUnitExtensionLifecycleTest's CallLoggingTester
  already does) by simply never activating the check for it, rather
  than throwing.
* Add DbUnitExtensionRowCountCheckTest.

Neither IT's makeDatabaseTester() ever called setTearDownOperation(), so
their prep rows into TEST_TABLE, SECOND_TABLE, and PK_TABLE were never
cleaned up - AbstractDatabaseTester defaults tearDownOperation to NONE.
The leaked rows only masked themselves in the normal suite: whichever of
these tests' own CLEAN_INSERT ran next happened to net back to the same
row count.  Enabling the new row count check
(-Ddbunit.rowCountCheck=true) across dbUnit's own suite surfaced it
directly, exactly the under-listing failure mode that check exists to
catch.

* Add DatabaseOperation.DELETE_ALL to both makeDatabaseTester() helpers.
