#20463 closed Bug (fixed)

.get_or_create() leaves Postgres in 'current transaction is aborted...' state if da DataError occurs in create

Description

Calling .get_or_create() with invalid data (e.g. broken UTF-8) in any of the fields in the 'default' argument causes a DataError (previously DatabaseError) to be thrown.

On Postgres this leads to the current transaction being left in the "InternalError: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block" state.

The reason for this is that .get_or_create() creates a savepoint but only rolls it back on IntegrityError, which DataError is not a subclass of.

I'll attach a diff with a test for this behaviour.

Marking as a release blocker because it relates to some refactoring introduced in [59a35208]

UloPe: there's no reason why this test should be specific to PostgreSQL, this behavior should be guaranteed on all databases.

Russell: I'm not convinced it's a regression, but it's obviously a bug and it's fast to fix it, so I haven't investigated further!

In 0e51d8eb66121b2558a38c9f4e366df781046873:

Fixed #20463 -- Made get_or_create more robust.

When an exception other than IntegrityError was raised, get_or_create
could fail and leave the database connection in an unusable state.

Thanks UloPe for the report.
