Flyway Check Fail On Drift Setting
Published 15 January 2025
Description
Where drift has been detected as part of Flyway check, this can be used to cause Flyway to exit with an error (the return/exit code is not 0). This would typically be used to stop a pipeline from proceeding to subsequent steps because the presence of drift suggests your DB has been changed outside of a flyway deployment pipeline and some action will need to be taken to bring the DB back to a managed state.
Type
Boolean
Default
false
Flyway Desktop
This can't be set in a config file via Flyway Desktop, although it will be honoured, and it can be configured as an advanced parameter in operations on the Migrations page.
Usage
"./flyway check -drift -check.failOnDrift=true"

[flyway.check]
failOnDrift = true

flyway.check.failOnDrift=true
