When using asyncpg, I am getting InterfaceError: cannot perform operation: another operation is in progress
when running multiple db calls concurrently.
I am able to replicate and isolate the issue with force_rollback=True
, although in my project where I encountered this bug, it is happening regardless.
Here is the isolated issue:
import asyncio
import databases
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.config import Config
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse
config = Config('.env')
DATABASE_URL = config('DATABASE_URL', default='postgresql://postgres@localhost:5432/postgres')
database = databases.Database(DATABASE_URL, force_rollback=True)
app = Starlette()
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
await database.connect()
@app.on_event("shutdown")
async def shutdown():
await database.disconnect()
@app.route("/test", methods=["GET"])
async def test_view(request):
await asyncio.gather(
get_from_db(),
get_from_db(),
)
return JSONResponse({"success": True})
async def get_from_db():
return await database.fetch_all("SELECT pg_sleep(1)")

with TestClient(app) as test_client:
test_client.get('/test')

When running into this issue with force_rollback=False
, since there isn't supposed to be a global connection and transaction, I was able to get around the issue by changing the following function:
async def get_from_db():
return await database.fetch_all("SELECT pg_sleep(1)")
to:
async def get_from_db():
async with Connection(database._backend) as conn:
return await conn.fetch_all("SELECT pg_sleep(1)")
I tried using async with database.connection() as conn:
but it would return the same connection that is being currently being used. I guess I was just trying to understand the logic of sharing the pool connection, instead of letting the pool allocate connections (when available), since asyncpg Connection only allows one statement at a time.
