Flyway Diff Source Setting

Description

The source to use for the diff operation.

Type

String

Valid values

• "<<env>>" - uses the environment named <<env>>
• "empty" - models an empty database
• "schemaModel" - the schema model folder referenced by schemaModelLocation
• "migrations" - uses a buildEnvironment to represent the state of database after specified migrations have been applied
• "snapshot:<<path>>" - uses a snapshot file at the specified path
• "snapshotHistory:<<name>>" - uses a snapshot entry in the snapshot history table; entries are either identified by name, or current for the most recent snapshot, or previous for the most recent but one.

In the case where an environment shares a name with one of the other values, it can be prefixed with env:

Default

<i>none - this is a required parameter for the diff command<i>

Usage

Flyway Desktop

This can't be added to a configuration file via Flyway Desktop.

Command-line

./flyway diff -source="env:development" -target="schemaModel"

TOML Configuration File

It is unlikely to be desirable to specify this in a config file, but it is possible:

[flyway.diff]
source = "env:development"
