Spring Boot AspectJ: why code must be compiled twice, before transactions start working?-CodePudding

I'm using Spring boot 2.5.5 with AspectJ 1.9.7 (CTW). I've spotted that sometimes transactions don't roll back and to fix that I need only recompile code and run it again. For example:

I have method addB() persisting entity B, method addC() throwing exception and method A() combining them. When I call A(), exception is thrown, but entity B stays in database (as expected). When I annotate method A() with @Transactional result is the same. But if I build everything again (without any changes) then transaction is being rollbacked and there is no new record in database.

Here is my full POM:

It's very strange situation, which I can't find information on. Could you help with finding reason to it?

CodePudding user response：

This is a temporary answer, because comments are too limited to explain my experience with the MCVE.

I cannot reproduce the problem because IDEA does not find the Lombok setters. Even when delegating build actions before run to Maven, I get NoSuchMethodError: '...TestEntity.setCode(java.lang.String)'. Next, I am going to try without Lombok. Please note that Lombok and AspectJ do not play nice with each other, see

CodePudding user response：

First of all: your multi-module approach works perfectly in my environment. But then I checked initial MCVE and when I completely removed Lombok, strange behaviour did not disappear. When reading your answers (this one) I have checked "Delegate IDE build/run actions to maven" in IntelliJ settings (Build Tools -> Maven -> Runner) and it started working as it should. In next step I switched this option off and checked "Do not build before run" in run configuration. I do not understand it completely (especially why did it work in old way after second try), but your comment helped me to reach that.

I will research IntelliJ behaviour (in two scenarios console output is almost identical), but if you have idea why does it work like that I would be glad to hear it. You helped me a lot, thank you!

Summary solution: I have enabled "Do not build before run" in IntelliJ run configuration for my application. Now changes works after first build.
