[GMG-Devel] Fixing SQLAlchemy session issue in test_collection_selection

[Ben Sturmfels]

Hi Folks,

I'd love a hand fixing test_collection_selection() if anyone was able to
lend some SQLAlchemy experience. On current master, if I run:

./runtests.sh 
mediagoblin/tests/test_submission.py::TestSubmissionBasics::test_collection_selection

This fails deep in some templating code run by
self.test_app.get('/submit/') on test_submission.py:502. The issue
appears to in the rendering of the collection select box where the

If I use "./runtests.sh --pdb", and try to look at "obj", the current
collection being rendered, I get:

sqlalchemy.orm.exc.DetachedInstanceError: Instance <Collection at 
0x7f770332feb8> is not bound to a Session; attribute refresh operation cannot 
proceed (Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/bhk3)

So I gather the Collection that was created by fixture_add_collection()
is trying to lazy load itself, but no longer has a reference to the
database. Any ideas why this may be?

Regards,
Ben
