Description
If I call response.close()
on an HTTP response from the test client within a django.test.TestCase
, Django incorrectly closes the active PostgreSQL connection, causing future test requests to fail with psycopg2.InterfaceError: connection already closed
.
This happens because HttpResponseBase.close
sends signals.request_finished
, which is handled by django.db.close_old_connections
, which calls BaseDatabaseWrapper.close_if_unusable_or_obsolete
, which observes self.get_autocommit() != self.settings_dict["AUTOCOMMIT"]
(False != True
) and closes the connection.
Any connection that’s within a transaction (such as the one opened by TestCase
) will have get_autocommit() == False
. It seems very wrong that the finishing of any request automatically triggers all connections in transactions to be immediately closed.

The streaming case is the one that motivated me to call response.close
in the first place. Currently there’s no way to get closing_iterator_wrapper
to close the response itself without first consuming the entire stream, and leaving it unclosed results in various ResourceWarning
s when warnings are enabled.

We had a similar issue in Channels, which we've addressed by (similarly) disabling the close_old_connections handler during tests.
We have this down as related to #30448.

Should we close as duplicate of #30448, this seems like the exact same problem.

Yes, agreed. Duplicate of #30448.
In order to prevent this problem from happening under normal circumstances
django.test.Client
unregisters this signal handler before callingrequest.close
.I feel like if you're testing something as low level as
HttpRequest
closing in the context of database connection handling you should be usingClientHandler
?I guess that we could possibly make
request.close
idempotent given what's returned bytest.Client
should already be closed?django/http/response.py
