Hey all,
I'm writing some automated tests for some legacy python code using a
psycopg2 connection. I'd like to check data in the database by using
SQLAlchemy. I rollback the database transaction after each test in
tearDown().
The problem is my SQLAlchemy connection doesn't see the database updates.
At first I thought they weren't using the same connection, but they are.
I'm using create_engine(..., creator=get_conn).
The problem appears to be that DefaultDialect is rolling back the
transaction. See sqlalchemy/engine/default.py line 167. I had to review
PG logs to spot this as it's not logged.
self.do_rollback(connection.connection)
Is this line really needed? What would it be rolling back? Can it be
avoided? When I disable this line of code, the transaction continues and
sqlalchemy can see the updates from psyopg2.
I've attached a demo file.
Thanks,
Brian
