@eaball35 sorry, do you know why spanner.test.instance property is not set when R2dbcSampleApplicationIT runs? It seems to work fine for JdbcExamplesIT.

This test has not run since 6/10 (because Spring Boot Test got upgraded to a version that brought JUnit5 setup, but the test stayed on JUnit4), so things may have changed since then. But locally, it works fine as long as spanner.test.instance is passed.

@elefeint If you want to separate the version update in the Spanner sample into a different PR. We can merge this one for everything else first.

@jsimonweb Will you be able to help with the Spanner test failure? (just realized Jonathan is OOO for three weeks)

That's a good idea; I'll open another PR for fixing tests. I see that dataflow sets the database instance explicitly in maven setup; I might try that, too:

          <systemPropertyVariables>
            <spanner.test.instance>default-instance</spanner.test.instance>
          </systemPropertyVariables>
