Help with debugging sqlite's 'busy' error with Ecto3

Hi all

This issue: Started work on migrating to Ecto3, ran into issues with Sqlite's `busy` · Issue #244 · elixir-sqlite/sqlite_ecto2 · GitHub

I’ve been trying a gung-ho approach to updating ecto_sqlite2 to support ecto3, and on the surface it seems to be straightforward enough: implement the new callbacks, make sure functions return updated responses etc. And now I’m stuck in an issue when running ecto tests:

when running ecto’s Migrator.up , the code seemingly runs all the statement until it tries to insert data into one of the tables. Sqlite returns busy , and then the migration fails with

{"busy",0}
{"busy",1}
{"busy",2}
{"busy",3}
{"busy",4}
{"busy",5}


Sqelect.DbConnection.Protocol (#PID<0.278.0>) disconnected: ** (DBConnection.ConnectionError) client #PID<0.319.0> exited
** (Sqelect.DbConnection.Error) {{:bad_return_value, :too_many_tries}, {GenServer, :call, [#PID<0.315.0>, {:query_rows, "INSERT INTO \"schema_migrations\" (\"version\",\"inserted_at\") VALUES (?1,?2)", [timeout: :infinity, decode: :manual, types: true, bind: [0, "2020-07-28T13:25:33"]]}, :infinity]}}

    (ecto_sql 3.4.5) lib/ecto/migrator.ex:493: Ecto.Migrator.lock_for_migrations/4
    integration/sqelect/test_helper.exs:93: (file)

The problem is: I don’t have enough knowledge of either Ecto or Elixir to properly debug this issue. If anyone has some spare time to look at this, it would be greatly appreciated.

We have one more SQLite 3 library!

https://github.com/warmwaffles/exqlite

Mentioning it as it’s code may give you some hints. Maybe even it’s author @warmwaffles would give @dmitriid some help.

I was pretending to help @warmwaffles as he did 100% of the work.

Ah, I’ve got nothing to hide.

Recently started a new job and it’s taking most of my time – initial good impressions, you know.

Also due to the closure of the gyms I got hit by very low energy levels and I am not motivated to work on anything beyond the main job.

Happily though both things will come to an end soon (not the job itself, just the initial flurry of tasks in it) and I expect to resume work on xqlite. Going to spend an hour on the treadmill in the gym at Monday or I’ll change my name!

Last status was that I completely reworked the Rust code and it’s at least 5x faster now, plus much cleaner. And for my library the Rust code is honestly 90% of the work.

What can you do to help? Well, once I have the Rust code in place (which I do, but have to do a few final iterations on it, add some more unit tests and optionally benchmarks) and push it in the GitHub repo, you can contribute test scenarios and the tests themselves. Also I’d appreciate a second pair of eyes on the Elixir API design. Promise to keep you in the loop since you expressed interest. Expect actual updates in the next 2-4 weeks.
