Unable to use Flyway with gradle to create migrations on sql server

Question

I'm very new to using flyway and currently I'm trying to create database migrations using it for sql sever. We use Gradle in our project, so I'm trying to use the flyway plugin for gradle.

I have downloaded the JDBC driver for sql server from here : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=11774

This is how my gradle flyway task looks like:

flyway {
    driver = 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver'
    url = 'jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;Databasename=testing'
    user = 'testdev'
    password = 'testdev'
}

The exception I'm getting when I execute gradle FlywayInfo :

Caused by: com.googlecode.flyway.core.api.FlywayException: Unable to obtain Jdbc
 connection from DataSource
        at com.googlecode.flyway.core.util.jdbc.JdbcUtils.openConnection(JdbcUti

FlywayTask.groovy:74)
        ... 79 more

Let me know what I'm missing here.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, I had added the dependency for SQLServerDriver. I found the fix, was using the incorrect url, the correct one is: url = 'jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;Databasename=testing'
