I am running a Spring-Boot project in IDEA Intelli for training that writes a recipe to the database using REST-full services. The IDE runs the server and I use Postman to query.
My problem is that the H2 database does not persist the data entered. In memory it's fine, but as soon as I shutdown and start up again, the data is gone.
Looking at the database file, I see a trace file that seems to show that the DB wasn't updated because there was a lock on it. I have searched for a lock file (locate *.lock.db), stopped all Java processes, and even rebooted without a change in behavior. I've changed the FILE_LOCK options for H2 but the problem persists.
EDIT: I just noticed that I hadn't tried FILE_LOCK=FILE. I just tried it and the db isn't updated. However, a trace file is not produced.
EDIT 2: I forgot to say that I'm running on Ubuntu 20.04.
EDIT 3: I am being careful to shutdown using the "actuator/shutdown" from Postman. Using file locking, I do this:
- start the server running from my IDE. I can see the lock file being created
- create a new recipe
- make sure I can get it (returns the recipe, no error)
- shutdown using the actuator. The lock file is removed.
- startup the server again. New lock file.
- try to get the recipe. Returns a 404 error. No trace file.
What could be causing this? Here is my trace.db file [note: when I use FILE_LOCK=FILE, no trace file is created, so maybe the locking problem was a red herring?]:
