What happened?

Hi,

When running a script with ScriptUtils on ContainerLessJdbcDelegate an underlying NullPointerException occurs.

ScriptUtils.runInitScript( new ContainerLessJdbcDelegate( connection ), initScript );

Reason is the code in org.testcontainers.jdbc.JdbcDatabaseDelegate#closeConnectionQuietly. It closes the connection which is null, as the ContainerLessJdbcDelegate has an own connection field. This could probably be solved by implementing closeConnectionQuietly in ContainerLessJdbcDelegate and closing the own field instead of the one on the super class.

Thank you and best regards

Nils

Additional Information

No response

org.testcontainers.jdbc.JdbcDatabaseDelegate#closeConnectionQuietly から始めて、ContainerLessJdbcDelegate の connection フィールドを調べ、その後、レポートに示されている ScriptUtils.runInitScript の呼び出しを追跡します。ContainerLessJdbcDelegate を使ってスクリプトを実行する回帰テストを追加し、正しい接続を閉じながら NullPointerException なしで完了することを確認します。
