Problem

persona_soak::python_probe::tests::healthy_migration_transaction_is_not_a_stranded_ready_connection fails intermittently, with remaining: Some(1) after the test closed its pool. It failed on #707 (PG18) and #711 (PG17), neither of which touches it.

The cause is a race in sqlx 0.8.6's Pool::close:

  1. tx.commit() drops the pool connection, and sqlx spawns return_to_pool. That task checks is_closed(), which is still false, then pings the connection.
  2. The test calls client.close(). It marks the pool closed, finds no idle connection, and waits for the one permit.
  3. The ping finishes, and release pushes the connection onto the idle queue, then frees the permit.
  4. close() gets the permit. With max_connections = 1, its loop ends without sweeping the idle queue again.

The connection then stays open for as long as the pool lives, and the test holds the pool until it ends. A loaded runner makes the ping slow enough to lose the race.

Reproduced locally with the test's exact sequence (commit, one observer query, close) under CPU load: 1 of 400 runs left the connection open, and a second close() closed it.

Change

The test calls client.close() a second time, with a comment explaining why. The first close() returns only after release has queued the connection, so the second one always finds it and closes it. Test-only; no runtime code changes.

Other tests in the file close a pool after a transaction too, but none asserts that the session is gone afterwards, so they aren't affected.

Tests

cargo test -p awa --test persona_soak_test python_probe: 13 passed, three runs on PG17. fmt clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage to verify that closing a client multiple times after a successful transaction commit is handled.
  • User Impact
    • No user-facing changes.

sqlx 0.8's Pool::close can return while the connection a commit released
is still being tested on its way back to the pool. That connection then
lands on the idle queue after close swept it, and stays open for as long
as the pool lives, so healthy_migration_transaction_is_not_a_stranded_ready_connection
saw it as a retained session. It failed this way on PG17 and PG18 CI
runners, and reproduced locally in 1 of 400 runs under CPU load, where a
second close cleared it.

Walkthrough

The healthy migration transaction test now calls client.close().await twice after commit. A comment describes how a spawned connection check may return a connection to the idle queue after the first close.

A rabbit checks the pool at night
Then closes it once, neat and right
A check returns a connection to stay
So close it once more after the day
The test now watches both closes play

I'm leaving CodeRabbit's docstring-coverage warning as it is. The only function this diff touches is a #[tokio::test]. Its name already says what it checks, and the new comment above the second close() explains the race. That matches the other tests in python_probe.rs, none of which have doc comments.

Closing as superseded by #716, now merged to release/0.6.6. It fixes the same sqlx 0.8.6 Pool::close race in the same test. Its exit(pool) helper closes the pool and then drops it, which models the probe process exiting. That's a better fit for the test's intent than a second close(), and it was verified with 0 failures in 4,800 runs under load. This branch now conflicts with that change and adds nothing beyond it.
