IncompatibleClassChangeError when testing SpringDataJpa using DbUnit

Question

It seems this situation appears before, and was asked& answered, but situation is changed because of updated versions...

I tried my Spring DBUnit test with default configuration (connecting to h2db, i've checked, h2db is used correctly):

  @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
  @ContextConfiguration(classes = {DatabaseTestConfig.class})
  @TestExecutionListeners({ DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class,
          DbUnitTestExecutionListener.class})
  @TestPropertySource(locations = "classpath:test-application.properties")

test-application.properties is empty. test dependencies:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.dbunit</groupId>
            <artifactId>dbunit</artifactId>
            <version>2.5.3</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.springtestdbunit</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-test-dbunit</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

project dependencies:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.3.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/>
</parent>

error that i've got:

I've tried downgrade spring-boot version to 1.4.0 - same error. I hope someone can help me with the issue or suggest how to determine version compatibility.

Answer 1

It seems I used too old version of spring-test-dbunit (I've used old article). I've replaced it with:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.springtestdbunit</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-test-dbunit</artifactId>
            <version>LATEST</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

and it works now.
