I totally agree with you on this one that a solution such as Flyway or Liquibase would do wonders
I’ve checked out the hibernate repo, and noticed that the changelog.txt shows that the issue: HHH-12059 is resolved in hibernate version 5.3.0.CR2.
I did try upgrading hibernate to this version, and now I get ehcache config errors.
Is a test case still relevant in this context?
