Introduction

In our recent development effort, we aimed to enhance the auto-sync functionality in our post generation system. The primary concern was to ensure that commits already used in existing posts would not be duplicated in the auto-sync process. This adjustment was necessary to maintain the integrity and uniqueness of the posts generated by our system.

The Challenge

Previously, our auto-sync feature did not account for commits that had already been associated with posts.

Introduction

Our test suite was experiencing frequent failures due to database transaction issues. The reconnect() method was causing the PDO connection to close, triggering Laravel's RefreshDatabase trait to reset and resulting in deadlocks and "relation does not exist" errors.

The Challenge

The main challenge was to identify the root cause of the issue and find a solution that would prevent the test suite failures without compromising the database transactions.
