As I see, the problem is that ajax request (may be not ajax only) didn't
wait for closing session file by another one and read/save data from/to it
at any time! Lock did not work on my Win7 because , as I think, for Win
it's one process.
Request processing may be not pure parallel but fully asynchronous - I
placed some print statement in ajax controller and got full chaos - among
print from one request were one from another.
Here is my littlle test. 3 ajax calls start at once but finish
asynchronously (time.sleep()). By change time.sleep() it's possible to
get any order (I did "start first - finish last"). At the end of all
session contains only vars/changes of ajax which finish last.
import time
# it's a funny AJAX test
#just create new app and paste it in the default controller
# call .../default/many_ajx_form
def ajx_bug():
if request.args(0)=='0':
time.sleep(10) # well, now wait until fish fall asleep in the pond
session.req_0='Only req_0 ... nothing else!!! Where are req_1,
req_2 and other kids? It seems, that guys ignored my session lock?'
elif request.args(0)=='1':
time.sleep(5)
session.req_1='I killed req_2 and created req_1 which will be
killed by req_0 !'
else:
session.req_2='I created req_2'
response.flash="click 'Print Session' !"
if request.args(0)=='0':
return dict(ret='Better late than never')
else:
return dict(ret='completed req_%s'%request.args(0))
def print_session():
lst=[]
for k,v in session.items():
lst.append(DIV(
DIV(k,_class='col-xs-2', _style="font-weight:bold;
text-align:right; min-height:50px"),
DIV(':',_class='col-xs-1'),
DIV(v,_class='col-xs-9'),
_class='row'
)
)
return dict(r=DIV(*lst, _class="container", _style="max-width:800px"))
#------------ CALL THIS --------------------
def many_ajx_form():
session.clear() # - for clear test
session.dummy_data = 'dummy data' # make some action for sure init
session
ret={}
for i in xrange(3):
ret['ajx_frm_%s'%i]= \
DIV(
