Hi Khushboo,

In the attached patch,

Fixed pep8 and made use of 'gettext' inside "database.js" file...
Regarding res.info='Database already connected', we are appending the database name and server name in front of 'res.info' string in the very next line. So using this 'Database already connected' text directly inside alertify will stop it from showing the info pertaining to the server and database. - no changes are done about res.info.

The database disconnection error comes without a database name. To reproduce this issue, perform the steps in this RM and then try to disconnect the database.

Also, please give the proper variable name as we discussed. 

Thanks,

Khushboo

Thanks

Hi Satish,

Some minor comments:

- Fix PEP8 issues.

- Use gettext in database.js file for the info message.

- No need to assign text value in res object (res.info = 'Database already connected.'), use this text directly in Alertify.info.

Thanks,

Khushboo

Hi,

I made the changes to the code such that conn.connect() will happen only when there is no prior connection exist. In short, connection via context menu will not trigger this conn.connect().
In the client side code, instead of error alert, info alert is used to inform the user.

Kindly review the patch and suggest the changes if required.

Thanks,
Sathish V

Hi Satish,

As per the RM, the fix is supposed to be at the front-end but it seems difficult at the moment as on the selection of the database, we connect it and at the same time the context menu is being called.

As you have tried to fix at the backend, some of the review comments are below.

1.  If the database is already connected, no need to call conn.connect again.

info_already_connected = conn.connected()

status, errmsg = conn.connect()

I've noticed conn.connected() is misleading sometimes. Let's say if the PG server is stopped and no query is fired from pgadmin after that, then conn.connected() will still give True. It is updated only when a query is fired to the PG server. I would suggest let it connect again as there is no harm and this function is very important. We don't want to mess it up for the sake of a message. 

It's true that conn.connected() is misleading but we already get the connection before checking conn.connected() with conn = manager.connection(did=did, auto_reconnect=True).

So, if the database server is stopped, it will throw the error.

I just checked the manager.connection function, and it is not connecting or checking. It will just give the connection object stored in the memory.

:).

databases/__init__.py : def connect()

manager = get_driver(PG_DEFAULT_DRIVER).connection_manager(sid)

conn = manager.connection(did=did, auto_reconnect=True) 

Above 2 lines will handle which I just just mentioned above.

I didn't find any code which will call the connect, apart from auto_reconnect being used when we execute some query. Nevertheless, I still believe we should not remove the connect call for the sake of a message, for which I think the user won't even bother.

 

To understand the code properly, comment out the line conn.connect() from the def connect(), restart the pgadmin server and try to connect the database from the client side.

So, you get to know that there is no harm in my suggestion.

2. If you want to raise an error at the client side, use the appropriate function or status (check file ajax.py) at the server side and send the appropriate response. 

Below code needs to be changed.

if(res.data.info_already_connected){

  Alertify.error(res.info);

} else {

  Alertify.success(res.info);

}

The problem is test cases. Almost all the test cases have checked for response "Database connected.". If the function is changed at the server side then all the test cases (around 85+) would have to be changed to handle this.

It's a valid point, so I would suggest to show the warning/info at the client side, no need to show the error message.

Yes, info is a good option. 

Thanks,

Khushboo

Hi Hackers,

In the patch attached, we are gracefully informing the end user, using an alert message, that the database is already connected when they click "Connect Database..." after right clicking on a disconnected database. 

As this problem deals with racing conditions, it is highly complex to show the "Disconnect database" option in the menu upon right click. So we are alerting the end user with the information of "Database already connected".

Thanks,
Sathish V
