Description

I'm seeing some test failures on Windows (x64), Python 2.7.10 with sqlite3 module 2.6.0 (SQLite 3.6.21).

On 1.0-stable, the failure looks like this:

$ make test=trac/db/tests/api.py
[...]
python setup.py -q test -s trac.db.tests.api.suite
SKIP: fine-grained permission tests (ConfigObj not installed)
.........................E.............
======================================================================
ERROR: test_table_names (trac.db.tests.api.ConnectionTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\trac\repos\1.0-stable\trac\db\tests\api.py", line 432, in setUp
    self.env.global_databasemanager.create_tables(self.schema)

  File "d:\trac\repos\1.0-stable\trac\db\util.py", line 128, in execute
    cursor.execute(query, params if params is not None else [])
  File "d:\trac\repos\1.0-stable\trac\db\util.py", line 63, in execute
    r = self.cursor.execute(sql)
  File "d:\trac\repos\1.0-stable\trac\db\sqlite_backend.py", line 82, in execute
    result = PyFormatCursor.execute(self, *args)
  File "d:\trac\repos\1.0-stable\trac\db\sqlite_backend.py", line 60, in execute
    args or [])
  File "d:\trac\repos\1.0-stable\trac\db\sqlite_backend.py", line 52, in _rollback_on_error
    return function(self, *args, **kwargs)
OperationalError: table HOURS already exists

It's as if the DROP TABLE IF EXISTS statement wouldn't work reliably.

The following patch makes the tests pass again:

  • trac/db/sqlite_backend.py

     
    323323
    324324    def drop_table(self, table):
    325325        cursor = self.cursor()
    326         cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + self.quote(table))
     326        try:
     327            cursor.execute("DROP TABLE" + self.quote(table))
     328        except:
     329            pass
    327330
    328331    def get_column_names(self, table):
    329332        cursor = self.cnx.cursor()

However, it's not really satisfying…

Note that on Linux with Python 2.7.9 and sqlite3 2.6.0 as well, the error doesn't happen, but in this case the version of SQLite is 3.8.10.2.

So I built PySqlite 2.8.1 with latest SQLite (3.9.2), and there the above error doesn't happen either. PySqlite 2.8.1 no longer builds with SQLite 3.6.21, but PySqlite 2.7.0 does, and it triggers the error like sqlite3 did.

I'm now trying to pinpoint this problem to a specific version of SQLite.

This issue no longer happens starting with SQLite 3.7.6.

Don't know yet what the problem was exactly, but regardless of that, the proposed fix would be:

  • trac/db/sqlite_backend.py

     
    323323
    324324    def drop_table(self, table):
    325325        cursor = self.cursor()
    326         cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + self.quote(table))
     326        if sqlite_version < (3, 7, 6):
     327            # SQLite versions at least between 3.6.21 and 3.7.5 have a
     328            # buggy behavior with DROP TABLE IF EXISTS (#12298)
     329            try:
     330                cursor.execute("DROP TABLE " + self.quote(table))
     331            except sqlite.OperationalError: # "no such table"
     332                pass
     333        else:
     334            cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + self.quote(table))
    327335
    328336    def get_column_names(self, table):
    329337        cursor = self.cnx.cursor()

Just curious, do you get the same error with make db=sqlite test=trac/db/tests/api.py? That command would use a real SQLite database rather than an in-memory database.

comment:3 by Ryan J Ollos, 8 years ago

Related note, I've seen other projects using appveyor for testing in Windows, which would be a nice complement to Travis CI.

I've seen Jun running tests on Windows, so he might have some input.

Yes, same results: the error also happens with SQLite 3.7.5 but not with SQLite 3.7.6.

Great! Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm currently experimenting, it looks quite promising (see e.g. build 1.0.3).

Travis CI build break is probably due to new Babel release. I recall seeing a similar issue the other night but didn't investigate.

Yes, the failures were unrelated to the actual changes.
