saveAsTable function doesn't create a table after updating to the spark 3.1.1

[kimtox]

Hello,
I have a problem after updating the Spark version from 2.4.3 to 3.1.1. Previously I use the following code to save parquet files and create correspondence table and everything worked fine in tests

df.write
    .mode(SaveMode.ErrorIfExists)
    .format("parquet").option("path", location)
    .saveAsTable(tableFqn)

But after I had moved to Spark version 3.1.1 the last line stopped to create the corresponding table (in tests, at least). Command spark.table(tableFqn) returns an empty df.

Also, I got new warnings and I supposed that this is the root cause of the problem:

java.lang.AssertionError: []: Expected 5 values but got 0

Does anybody have any ideas about this behavior? Versions:
Scala - 2.12.15
Spark - 3.1.1
spark-testing-base_2.12 - 3.1.1_1.1.1

@kimtox it looks like the Default Hive Metastore is not started correctly. Can you share a full reproducible example under the form of a gist maybe that also include your gradle/maven/sbt configuration?
