sqlalchemy object caching issue

[dotX12]

Greetings! I ran into sqlalchemy object caching issues. From time to time I get errors like this:

"  File \"/home/boot/stellar/backend/./app/v1/security/auth.py\", line 127, in get_current_user\n    permissions_v2 = await service_permissions.get_permissions_by_role_cache(\n",

      "_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <function __init__ at 0x7fc386fbb7f0>: it's not the same object as sqlalchemy.orm.instrumentation.__init__\n"

I found the answer that such objects should be serialized and deserialized differently:
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/serializer.html

Tell me how good / bad idea it is to cache alchemy objects, and not the endpoint itself.

If this is not bad, what can you say about adding functionality that could fix this error?

Hello,

I think objects like sqlalchemy orm is a good use case for caching, if it possible to pickle somehow.
So Yep, cashews should support it ( thanks for the link), I am going to fix this issue ASAP.

Hi @dotX12 , the release is ready to upload on pypi but I can't reproduce this issue. ) I tried with simple examples but with different types of sqlalchemy objects and can't get an error like you have.

import asyncio

from cashews import cache
cache.setup("redis://")

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base, sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy.future import select
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine

Base = declarative_base()


class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String)
    fullname = Column(String)
    nickname = Column(String)


@cache(ttl="1m", key="user:{id}")
async def get_user(session, id):
    user = await session.get(User, id)
    return user


async def main():
    engine = create_async_engine('sqlite+aiosqlite:///:memory:', echo=False)
    async with engine.begin() as conn:
        await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)

    async_session = sessionmaker(
        engine, expire_on_commit=False, class_=AsyncSession
    )
    async with async_session() as session:
        async with session.begin():
            session.add_all(
                [
                    User(name="test", id=11, fullname="10 th", nickname="test10"),
                ]
            )
        user = await get_user(session, 11)
        print(user.fullname)


asyncio.run(main())

Привет, @dotX12, релиз готов к загрузке на pypi, но я не могу воспроизвести эту проблему. ) Я попробовал с простыми примерами, но с разными типами объектов sqlalchemy и не могу получить ошибку, как у вас.

import asyncio

from cashews import cache
cache.setup("redis://")

from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base, sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy.future import select
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine

Base = declarative_base()


class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String)
    fullname = Column(String)
    nickname = Column(String)


@cache(ttl="1m", key="user:{id}")
async def get_user(session, id):
    user = await session.get(User, id)
    return user


async def main():
    engine = create_async_engine('sqlite+aiosqlite:///:memory:', echo=False)
    async with engine.begin() as conn:
        await conn.run_sync(Base.metadata.create_all)

    async_session = sessionmaker(
        engine, expire_on_commit=False, class_=AsyncSession
    )
    async with async_session() as session:
        async with session.begin():
            session.add_all(
                [
                    User(name="test", id=11, fullname="10 th", nickname="test10"),
                ]
            )
        user = await get_user(session, 11)
        print(user.fullname)


asyncio.run(main())
    

Hi, I'm not at home right now, I'll test it tomorrow evening, thanks!

[Krukov]

OK but you can test it only on master branch - release postponed. It will be nice to have and example of code with this bug

[dotX12]

@Krukov, indeed, your example doesn't cause this problem.
I can't share my example that causes this problem (the problem persists and hasn't been fixed :c), as it is the project with NDA.
but I'll try to make a test case that reproduces it.

[Krukov]

@dotX12 Hello
Do you have some examples?

[dotX12]

@Krukov
Hello, I have now gone to the sea, I think I should not have opened this issue so early :) I think I can only answer the august 20 to you :)
Sry

[Krukov]

Don't worry, it is OK. Have a good weekend!

[Krukov]

Hi @dotX12 . Do you have any updates? )

[dotX12]

Hi @dotX12 . Do you have any updates? )

Hello, now I sit down to reproduce the bug, I think tomorrow or after tomorrow I will send it!

[dotX12]

@Krukov, pickletype="sqlalchemy" really solved my problem, I don't know why it didn't work last time, maybe I didn't update the library version to master, but now the problem is gone!

solved :)

[Krukov]

Great, than I will release new version soon

[Krukov]

released with 4.7.1
