**getting the same exception when rollback is executed**

For eG:

```auto
String tracingFilePath = "tracing_data_15.xml";
            SearchPathResourceAccessor resourceAccessor = new SearchPathResourceAccessor(
                    new DirectoryResourceAccessor(Paths.get("C:\\SIU_1011_RC3\\var\\").toAbsolutePath().toFile()));
            Liquibase liquibase = new Liquibase(tracingFilePath, resourceAccessor, database);
            liquibase.validate();
            liquibase.rollback("tracing_data_15_create", "");

```

when executed throws exception as below
