Research direction
Start with the provided asyncpg 0.30.0 example and reproduce it on Python 3.11, PostgreSQL 16, and Windows, first confirming whether the issue occurs with a local PostgreSQL installation. Investigate the behavior of the async context manager around self.get_connection() and compare it with the explicit conn.close() case; done means the flow completes without requiring that explicit close.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
- asyncpg version: 0.30.0
- PostgreSQL version: 16
- Do you use a PostgreSQL SaaS? If so, which?: Yes, I am using NeonDB
- Can you reproduce the issue with a local PostgreSQL install?: Didn't attempt it.
- Python version: 3.11.0
- Platform: Windows
- Do you use pgbouncer?: No
- Did you install asyncpg with pip?: Yes
- If you built asyncpg locally, which version of Cython did you use?: [Your Cython version if applicable]
- Can the issue be reproduced under both asyncio and
uvloop?: [Yes/No] I did not try uvloop
I'm encountering an issue where the flow of my application gets stuck unless the database connection is explicitly closed after a query, even though it should be managed automatically by the context manager.
Code Example:
async def read_record(self, request_details: dict):
"""
Retrieve records based on conditions and request_type.
Args:
request_details (dict): The conditions including request_type.
Returns:
list: The records that match the conditions.
"""
table = self.get_table_name(request_details['request_type'])
conditions = {key: request_details[key] for key in request_details if key != 'request_type'}
condition_str = " AND ".join(f"{key} = ${i+1}" for i, key in enumerate(conditions.keys()))
query = f"SELECT * FROM {table} WHERE {condition_str};"
async with self.get_connection() as conn:
conn.add_log_listener(lambda connection, message: logger.info("PostgreSQL log message: %s", message))
result = await conn.fetch(query, *conditions.values())
logger.info("Fetched records: %s", result)
# await conn.close() # get's stuck without this line
return result
