Ruby: SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked:

Question

Ran into this error message whilst developing tonight: SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked:

I have two models:

• Podcasts have many

Answer 1

Try wrap cycle in a single transaction:

  def create_tracks
    json = Hashie::Mash.new HTTParty.get(self.json_url)    
    Track.transaction do
      json.sections.each do |section|
        if section.section_type=="track"
          Track.create(:name=>section.track.name, :podcast_id=>self.id)
        end
      end
    end             
  end

(see Track.transaction)
