Error message

Incorrect citizen: " + citizen.getLastname() + ", expected: " + expected

What it means

Assertion inside updateNaturalId: the test loads Citizen with ssn 45989213T by natural id, expects lastname 'Stark', and throws this RuntimeException if the cached/loaded entity has a different lastname. This guards that the natural-id cache resolves the correct entity before the test updates its ssn.

Solutions

Reset the database / re-seed Citizens before each test run
Evict the Citizen cache region before loading (sessionFactory.getCache().evict(Citizen.class))
Verify the seeded row: ssn 45989213T must map to lastname 'Stark'
Ensure tests run in isolation so updateNaturalId does not see mutations from earlier tests

Example fix

// before
Citizen citizen = loader.load();
String expected = "Stark";
// after
emf.unwrap(SessionFactory.class).getCache().evict(Citizen.class);
Citizen citizen = loader.load();
String expected = "Stark";

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

Citizen citizen = loader.load();
if (citizen == null) throw new IllegalStateException("No Citizen with ssn 45989213T; check seeding");
sessionFactory.getCache().evict(Citizen.class); // ensure fresh load

Try / catch

try {
    updateNaturalId(counts);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
    // evict regions and re-seed before retrying
}

Prevention

Re-seed test data before each endpoint test run
Evict Citizen region before natural-id lookups
Run tests in isolation so ssn mutations from earlier runs don't leak

When it happens

Trigger: Running the read-write natural id test when loading ssn=45989213T returns a Citizen whose lastname is not 'Stark' — wrong seed data, stale cache entry under that ssn, or the ssn was changed by a previous run without cache eviction.

Common situations: Previous test run mutated the ssn (test updates it to 78902007R) and the database was not reset; cached natural-id entry now maps to a different row; seed dataset changed.
