Gorm Transaction not commit under certain special circumstances.

Your Question

version

• MySQL 8.1.0
• gorm.io/driver/mysql v1.5.1
• gorm.io/gorm v1.25.2

Description

I ran into a really weird problem: at some point (it didn’t happen before), transactions in my production environment suddenly stopped committing properly and there were no error messages. It was like they were just hanging, which meant locks weren’t being released and other requests couldn’t be processed. But my testing environment (using MySQL 8.0) didn’t have this issue. Then I set up MySQL 8.1 in the testing environment and imported the relevant data from production, and strangely, everything worked fine in the testing environment. After that, I reinstalled MySQL 8.1 in production and migrated the data, and the problem went away.

Here is some of my code：

func ExecTransaction(f func(tx *gorm.DB) error) (err error) {
    start := time.Now()
    logger.Info("transaction start:" + start.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05.000"))
        // global.Database is a initialized gorm.db
    err = global.Database.Transaction(f)
    end := time.Now()
    logger.Info(fmt.Sprintf("transaction end:%s,time cost:%fs",end.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05.000"), end.Sub(start).Seconds()))
    return
}

func HandleRequest() (err error) {
    err = ExecTransaction(func(tx *gorm.DB) error {
        // insert into tableA
        if err := tx.Create(&TableA{}).Error; err != nil {
            return err
        }

        // update from tableB
        if err := tx.Updates(&TableA{}).Error; err != nil {
            return err
        }

                // delete from tableC
        err = tx.Delete(&TableC{}).Error
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }

        // insert into tableC
        if err := tx.Create(&TableC{}).Error; err != nil {
            return err
        }
        return nil
    })
    if err != nil {
        logger.Error("HandleRequest", err)
        return err
    }
    return nil
}
