How to Initialize a Database Using Hibernate with gradle?

Question

So I am working on a RESTful API service and I got the following error:

could not read a hi value - you need to populate the table: confirmation_token_sequence

So after a quick google session I found out this should be the solution to my problem:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop

The problem is that I am using Gradle, and not Maven. So I know that in a Maven project that line of code should go into the pom.xml file and the Gradle variant of pom.xml is build.gradle, but I have no clue where and if it should go into the build.gradle file. Can anyone help me with my answer?

Thanks!!

What is giving that error? Your build? Or do you get it at runtime? And what does maven make of that "solution" line? Does it set some system property? You should be able to find this info where you found the solution. — ernest_k

@ernest_k I get the error when I send a post request via postman. I use Gradle, not maven. If I had used maven I would got the solution (posted it in my post) — LardinoisJosse

Well, I suggest you read a little more on how that solution applies. You're getting an error at runtime, which means that your build tool has nothing to do with it. It could be that a hibernate-aware maven plugin is setting properties for you, but this is something that you'd be advised to understand in terms of how your framework expects and uses it. — ernest_k

The property

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop

should go in the application configuration file [ application.properties or application.yaml] and not the build file.
