Invalid content was found starting with element 'preconditions' - with onFail="MARK_RAN"

General Discussion

I would say it is expecting preconditions in your first tag. So being case sensitive.

Similar to http://forum.liquibase.org/topic/preconditions-onfail-mark-ran-causes-parser-error, I’m having an issue including a precondition. I don’t know if it’s a bug or if I’m just using it incorrectly?

I need to drop a column if it exists.

I can get around it by using stopOnFailure=“false” but I’d rather do it a bit cleaner than that.

Here is the current one:

  1.    
           
               
           
            dont need the column
           
           
           
       


I have verified the comment tag is after the precondition, and have also tried no comment tag and an empty tag.
I have tried with and without the rollback.
I don’t see any typos, but it seems like it’s not picking up the dropColumn?


It throws this error:

I’m not sure how I missed that, but that fixed it, thank you!
