Hi all. I'm working on an application which uses Zope (2.8, at the moment) and ZPsycopgDA (toghter with a number of other products). While writing an acceptance test, I encountered a strange problem: the test locks up. A further investigation shown that there were two connections at the database; one of them was not committed, the other one was blocked waiting for the other to commit. I therefore used the pdb in order to stop the execution of the test inside the connect method of the ZPsycopgDA.DA. Once I had that breakpoint, I was able to get the logs of the two transactions on the database, and I had the confirmation that indeed there were two different transactions. So, I wondered what could possibily happen, I mean why during a test there could be a second connect to the database. I issued a "bt" to see the stack of calls leading to the connect, and what I could see was that the coonect was called inside the __setstate__ method of Shared/DC/ZRDB/Connection.py. I assume therefore that the ZPsycopgDA object has been "ghostified", during the transaction. But this "assumption" is not supported by any evidence. In particular, it is not supported by my knowledge of the internal behaviour of ZODB on objects during a single transaction. Can anyone provide suggestion on this topic?
