Liquibase migrations do not run automatically with Spring Boot 3.5.0

[ghferrari]

I use liquibase for database migrations. My liquibase configuration is working fine with Spring Boot 3.4.3 through to 3.4.6 when using the Gradle task bootRun i.e. Spring Boot will run liquibase migrations automatically during this task. But if I switch to Spring Boot 3.5.0 and keep all other configuration files the same, liquibase migrations do not run.

Thanks for the report, but it's not actionable. As far as we know, there are no problems with Liquibase in Spring Boot 3.5 and your description does not provide enough information for us to identify one. If you would like us to spend some more time investigating, please spend some time providing a complete yet minimal sample that reproduces the problem. You can share it with us by pushing it to a separate repository on GitHub or by zipping it up and attaching it to this issue.

I think I've managed to track down the problem.

With Spring Boot 3.4.6, it is possible to set spring.liquibase.enabled=1 in application.properties and this would be interpreted as a true value and hence liquibase migrations would run.

Under Spring Boot 3.5.0, spring.liquibase.enabled=1 is apparently not interpreted as a true value and hence liquibase migrations do not run.

Happily, it appears this can be fixed simply by switching to spring.liquibase.enabled=true.

I've attached a minimal example with 3.5.0 and using spring.liquibase.enabled=1. If you switch to Spring Boot 3.4.6 it works even with the numerical value. But using the literal true value works for 3.4.6 and 3.5.0.

While my immediate issue is easily fixed, there is a definite change in behaviour here with 3.5.0 and it would be worth investigating why this change has happened. If it's a more general change that =1 will no longer be interpreted as true, that might affect other property settings.

Thanks for identifying the cause. This is due to the introduction of @ConditionalOnBooleanProperty and is mentioned in the release notes.
