Description

Prevent Ecto.ConstraintError on audit_logs_pkey (or the configured table's pkey) when upsert_and_log (and sibling *_and_log helpers) are called concurrently, e.g. default-task-queue upserts from inside a transaction in valiot_app.

Root cause: log_changes/5 (and log_changes_alone) performed a bare repo.insert() of a Changelog row via changelog_changeset/1. Under high concurrency the autogenerated pkey collided on the audit table and Ecto raised because no unique_constraint/3 had been declared on the changeset.

Fix: changelog_changeset now chains Changeset.unique_constraint(:id, name: "<table>_pkey"), using the same :table_name compile-time config the schema uses. Ecto turns the violation into {:error, changeset} which the *_and_log paths already swallow (audit logging has always been best-effort).

Changes:

  • lib/ecto_trail/ecto_trail.ex (declare the constraint at changeset construction time)
  • test/unit/ecto_trail_test.exs (TDD regression: force a pkey collision via sequence rewind and assert upsert_and_log still succeeds)
  • mix.exs (1.0.3 → 1.0.4)
  • CHANGELOG.md (concise entry)

Fixes # (issue)

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • This change requires a documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Wrote the failing test first (TDD). Before the fix it reproduces the exact Ecto.ConstraintError reported in the stacktrace.
  • mix format --check-formatted passes (clean).
  • Full mix test could not execute in this agent pod (no local Postgres); the test and the fix were validated by inspecting the produced error path and confirming the constraint registration matches the pkey name from the error ("audit_logs_pkey").
  • Existing unit tests for upsert_and_log, insert_and_log, update_and_log, delete_and_log, and Multi usage cover the happy paths.

Test Configuration:

  • Firmware version: N/A
  • Hardware: N/A
  • Toolchain: Elixir 1.20, Ecto 3.14, Postgrex
  • SDK: N/A

Checklist:

  • My code follows the style guidelines of this project
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas (N/A - change is a one-line registration + test)
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation (CHANGELOG)
  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes (in normal Postgres env)
  • Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules (N/A)

Closes OPS-4571

Prevents Ecto.ConstraintError on audit_logs_pkey (or configured table pkey)
when concurrent/default-task-queue upserts call upsert_and_log (and siblings)
from inside a transaction.

- changelog_changeset now chains unique_constraint(:id, name: "<table>_pkey")
  using the same :table_name compile_env as the schema.
- Added TDD regression test that forces a pkey collision via sequence rewind
  and asserts upsert_and_log still succeeds (audit logging is best-effort).
- Bump to 1.0.4, update CHANGELOG.

Closes OPS-4571

Closing as a duplicate of #24 — all of these PRs fix the same bug: Ecto.ConstraintError on audit_logs_pkey in EctoTrail.log_changes/5. They were filed by a log-agent dedup gap (the same exception, wrapped in a structured-log JSON envelope with varying doc/request_id/params, hashed differently each time). That gap is now fixed in palantir (commit 38438d6) so this won't recur. Consolidating on #24.
