Greetings,
I am new to all this, but I have watched a ton of videos, so please forgive my ignorance…
I am working from the ions-starter project, and have it setup and working. I am now trying to figure out the best practices around development and testing. So I set the the following task in front of my self, create a test that adds new attributes and a new type, add some data, execute a query and tear it down.
I am perfectly happy running “on line”, so I am not asking for off-line support or anything.
I have come up with the following pattern for this test:
- check to see if the test DB exists, delete it if it does.
- create test DB.
- Add my data.
- Run queries, etc.
and it works, if I execute each form in a repl, one at a time. However, when I run them all at once, I get the following error:
“Execution error (ExceptionInfo) at datomic.client.api.async/ares (async.clj:58).
:db.error/db-deleted 97cdaa80-43ee-4c45-8ce7-87de428ce508 has been deleted”
And this makes me think, my general approach is wrong, creating and nuking a DB for a set of tests (this is a pattern I admittedly inherited from Java land).
So, besides figuring out a workaround for the above error, what is the idiomatic workflow for writing tests with Datomic Ions, especially those that include migration steps?
This question seems to be un-google-able (by me), so I would really appreciate some pointers.
Thanks!
