GcpDatastoreEmulatorAutoConfiguration未先于GcpDatastoreAutoConfiguration执行的问题

针对开发环境中Datastore依赖Bean初始化时模拟器未启动的问题，可通过以下几种方式调整启动顺序：

方案一：手动提前启动模拟器（推荐） #

创建专属开发环境配置类，在Datastore自动配置前初始化并启动模拟器，绕过SmartLifecycle的延迟启动逻辑：

@Configuration
@Profile("dev")
@AutoConfigureBefore(GcpDatastoreAutoConfiguration.class)
public class DevDatastoreEmulatorStartupConfig {

    @Value("${spring.cloud.gcp.datastore.emulator.host-port}")
    private String emulatorHostPort;

    @Bean
    public LocalDatastoreHelper localDatastoreHelper() throws IOException {
        LocalDatastoreHelper helper = LocalDatastoreHelper.create(emulatorHostPort);
        // 初始化Bean时直接启动模拟器
        helper.start();
        return helper;
    }
}

该配置类会优先于GcpDatastoreAutoConfiguration加载，确保模拟器在Datastore核心Bean初始化前完成启动。

方案二：调整模拟器的SmartLifecycle启动阶段 #

通过包装LocalDatastoreHelper修改其启动阶段，让模拟器在Spring上下文生命周期的更早阶段启动：

@Configuration
@Profile("dev")
@AutoConfigureBefore(GcpDatastoreEmulatorAutoConfiguration.class)
public class DatastoreEmulatorPhaseConfig {

    @Bean
    public LocalDatastoreHelper localDatastoreHelper(GcpDatastoreEmulatorProperties properties) throws IOException {
        LocalDatastoreHelper delegate = LocalDatastoreHelper.create(properties.getHostPort());
        return new EarlyStartupDatastoreHelper(delegate);
    }

    private static class EarlyStartupDatastoreHelper extends LocalDatastoreHelper implements SmartLifecycle {
        private final LocalDatastoreHelper delegate;
        private boolean running = false;

        public EarlyStartupDatastoreHelper(LocalDatastoreHelper delegate) {
            this.delegate = delegate;
        }

        @Override
        public void start() {
            try {
                delegate.start();
                running = true;
            } catch (IOException e) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Failed to start Datastore emulator", e);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void stop() {
            delegate.stop();
            running = false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean isRunning() {
            return running;
        }

        @Override
        public int getPhase() {
            // 设置为最小整数，确保优先于其他生命周期组件启动
            return Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        }
    }
}

方案三：利用Bean初始化方法触发启动 #

通过initMethod指定模拟器启动时机，让Bean初始化时自动调用start方法：

@Configuration
@Profile("dev")
@AutoConfigureBefore(GcpDatastoreEmulatorAutoConfiguration.class)
public class DevDatastoreEmulatorConfig {

    @Bean(initMethod = "start", destroyMethod = "stop")
    public LocalDatastoreHelper localDatastoreHelper(GcpDatastoreEmulatorProperties properties) throws IOException {
        return LocalDatastoreHelper.create(properties.getHostPort());
    }
}

这种方式简洁直接，借助Spring的Bean生命周期回调，在Bean创建完成后立即启动模拟器。
