newSuspendedTransaction connecting to old database instances across test cases

[vinh0604]

Hi,
I'm working on a web service using Ktor 1.6.8 and Exposed 0.39.2.
My application module and database is setup as following:

fun Application.module(testing: Boolean = false) {
 val hikariConfig =
    HikariConfig().apply {
      driverClassName = "org.postgresql.Driver"
      jdbcUrl = environment.config.propertyOrNull("ktor.database.url")?.getString()
      username = environment.config.propertyOrNull("ktor.database.username")?.getString()
      password = environment.config.propertyOrNull("ktor.database.password")?.getString()
      maximumPoolSize = 10
      isAutoCommit = false
      transactionIsolation = "TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ"
      validate()
    }
  val pool =  HikariDataSource(hikariConfig)
  val db = Database.connect(pool, {}, DatabaseConfig { useNestedTransactions = true })
}

I use ktor-server-test-host, Test Containers and junit 5 to test the service. My test looks similar like below:

@Testcontainers
class SampleApplicationTest{
  companion object {
    @Container
    val postgreSQLContainer = PostgreSQLContainer<Nothing>(DockerImageName.parse("postgres:13.4-alpine")).apply {
      withDatabaseName("database_test")
    }
  }

  @Test
  internal fun `should make request successfully`() {
    withTestApplication({
      (environment.config as MapApplicationConfig).apply {
        put("ktor.database.url", postgreSQLContainer.jdbcUrl)
        put("ktor.database.user", postgreSQLContainer.username)
        put("ktor.database.password", postgreSQLContainer.password)
      }
      module(testing = true) 
    }) {
      handleRequest(...)
    }
  }
}

I observed an issue that if I ran multiple test classes together, some requests ended up using old Exposed db instance that was setup in a previous test class, causing the test case failed because the underlying database was already stopped.
When I ran one test class at a time, all were running fine.
Please refer to the log below for the error stack trace:

I have reported this issue to Ktor team at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-4928 and found that this could be resolved by explicitly setting the db parameter for newSuspendedTransaction function.
So I assumed this could be a bug with newSuspendedTransaction when using implicit db. Please help to verify.

Thanks and regards,
Vinh.
