Description

After running the Django unit tests, I'm left with 8 .sqlite3 files like so.

Bisected to 3b3f38b3b09b0f2373e51406ecb8c9c45d36aebc.

What's interesting is if you do --parallel=1 then they aren't left around 🤔

comment:2 by David Sanders, 15 months ago

I'm new to the test framework but here's what I found when doing some investigating:

Looks like the issue is with the new setup_worker_connection() method for the sqlite3 backend in that commit you bisected.

It attempts to copy from other_<worker-id>.sqlite3 into memory … but it doesn't exist because the test runner doesn't create databases for the "other" alias. The default behaviour of sqlite3.connect() is to create a database because the default mode is mode=rwc, c being for create.

We can apparently change the mode to mode=rw in which case an exception is raised. Or we can adjust the logic to use the same settings as "fork" if the file doesn't exist. 🤔

(I just quickly tested this theory by appending mode=rw and it no longer creates the other_n.sqlite3 files)

I'm not being able to reproduce, I'm using python3.11 with latest main on a Manjaro system:

It's an issue with "spawn" method, so it's reproducible on Windows and MacOS.

comment:7 by David Sanders, 15 months ago

I haven't tried this but you might also be able to set the start method in runtests.py and change to spawn: ​https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.set_start_method

Hi faizan2700, unfortunately it's already assigned & fixed. Your best bet is to search through tickets that are unassigned if you'd like to contribute.
