Problem while executing mvn liquibase:diff where snapshot us used as target url

Question

Using liquibase with maven spring boot project have generated the snapshot at one state of db later tried generating the difference between the snapshot and online db using mvn liquibase:diff.

liquibase.properties as follows.

changeLogFile=src/main/resources/bd.changeLog-base.xml
diffChangeLogFile=src/main/resources/bd.changeLog-base.xml
outputChangeLogFile=src/main/resources/liquibase-new-changeLog.xml
url=offline:mysql?snapshot=src/main/resources/snap_shot.json
driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

referenceDriver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
referenceUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db_sample
referenceUsername=yyyy
referencePassword=xxxx

using the following maven-plugin dependency in pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

For me this issue fixed by upgrading liquibase-maven-plugin from 3.5.5 version to 3.10.1.

<groupId>org.liquibase</groupId>
<artifactId>liquibase-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.10.1</version>
