mvn liquibase rollback returns type incompatibility error

My Spring Boot api utilizes liquibase and I'm trying to roll back the last liquibase update.

I've tried a couple different commands (followed by my db credentials on the same line):

mvn liquibase:rollback -Dliquibase.rollbackCount=1

and also:

mvn liquibase:rollback -Dliquibase.rollbackDate=2022-11-08

For each, the mvn execution starts out promising, with Successfully acquired change lock

But then each ends up with this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.liquibase:liquibase-maven-plugin:3.4.1:rollback (default-cli) on project tve: A type incompatibility occurred while executing org.liquibase:liquibase-maven-plugin:3.4.1:rollback: java.time.LocalDateTime cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

I notice that the most recent rows in my databasechangelog table show a liquibase version of 4.5.0, while all the older ones show 3.5.4. Perhaps that's somehow related to this error?

Solution

  • As it turns out, I was able to resolve this by changing my liquibase-maven-plugin version from 3.4.1 to 4.5.0.

    Not exactly sure what the issue was or why that resolved it, but perhaps this may help someone else.
