Working with a MySQL database and flask-sqlalchemy I am encountering a lost connection error ( 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query'
). I already have adapted the app.config['SQLALCHEMY_POOL_RECYCLE']
to be smaller than the engine timeout
. I also added a pool_pre_ping
, to ensure the database is not going away during two requests. Now I have no idea left, how this can still be an issue, since it is my understanding that flask-sqlalchemy should be taking care of opening and closing sessions correctly.
As a workaround, I thought about a way to tell flask-sqlalchemy to catch lost connection responses and restart the connection on the fly. But I have no idea how to do this. So, my questions are:
I do not know the answer to your 1st and 2nd questions, but for the 3rd question, I used a decorator to wrap all my functions instead of using try / except directly inside the functions. The explicit pre_ping and session rollback / close somehow also solved the problem of Lost Connection for me (mariadb was the backend I was using)!
def manage_session(f):
def inner(*args, **kwargs):
# MANUAL PRE PING
try:
db.session.execute("SELECT 1;")
db.session.commit()
except:
db.session.rollback()
finally:
db.session.close()
# SESSION COMMIT, ROLLBACK, CLOSE
try:
res = f(*args, **kwargs)
db.session.commit()
return res
except Exception as e:
db.session.rollback()
raise e
# OR return traceback.format_exc()
finally:
db.session.close()
return inner
and then wrapping my functions with the decorator:
@manage_session
my_funtion(*args, **kwargs):
return "result"
