Passes on Windows with other Python versions for some reason.

This is the failing test:

sqlite-utils/tests/test_recreate.py

Lines 21 to 32 in 7b2d1c0

	@pytest.mark.parametrize(
	"use_path,file_exists", [(True, True), (True, False), (False, True), (False, False)]
	)
	def test_recreate(tmpdir, use_path, file_exists):
	filepath = str(tmpdir / "data.db")
	if use_path:
	filepath = pathlib.Path(filepath)
	if file_exists:
	Database(filepath)["t1"].insert({"foo": "bar"})
	assert ["t1"] == Database(filepath).table_names()
	Database(filepath, recreate=True)["t2"].insert({"foo": "bar"})
	assert ["t2"] == Database(filepath).table_names()

I'm going to try a different way of creating the temporary file: https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/how-to/tmp_path.html

Failed again, but just noticed this: https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/actions/runs/3323932266/jobs/5494890223

>       Database(filepath, recreate=True)["t2"].insert({"foo": "bar"})

Now mypy is failing:

I'm not hugely happy with my fix there:

sqlite-utils/sqlite_utils/db.py

Lines 321 to 328 in c5d7ec1

	if recreate and os.path.exists(filename_or_conn):
	try:
	os.remove(filename_or_conn)
	except OSError:
	# Avoid mypy and __repr__ errors, see:
	# https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/503
	self.conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
	raise

The problem here was that in the case where the os.remove() failed the self.conn property was NOT being set to a valid connection - which caused __repr__ to fail later on.

So now I catch the os.remove() error, set self.conn to a memory connection, then raise the error again.

This test reliably fails on Windows with Python 3.11.

I'm going to skip the test for the moment to get back to green CI... but I'll leave this issue open. This is definitely concerning, I just don't have the right local environment to solve this at the moment.

[simonw]

... or maybe Windows doesn't like attempts to remove a file that the process has opened?

[simonw]

Used psutil to confirm that closing a SQLite connection closes the underlying file: https://til.simonwillison.net/python/too-many-open-files-psutil

>>> import psutil
>>> import sqlite3
>>> for f in psutil.Process().open_files(): print(f)
... 
>>> sqlite3.connect("/tmp/blah.db")
<sqlite3.Connection object at 0x1007264d0>
>>> conn = _
>>> for f in psutil.Process().open_files(): print(f)
... 
popenfile(path='/private/tmp/blah.db', fd=3)
>>> conn.close()
>>> for f in psutil.Process().open_files(): print(f)
... 
>>>
