Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved stability when updating a category’s subcategories by preventing premature database synchronization during the operation. This reduces intermittent errors when submitting updates with multiple subcategory IDs. No changes to request/response format or validation behavior. Users should see more consistent success when updating categories via the API or admin UI, mitigating previous sporadic failures under certain timing or data conditions.

Walkthrough

Wrapped subcategory assignment in CategoryById.put with db.session.no_autoflush to prevent autoflush during fetch-and-assign of Subcategory records. Logic remains: resolve provided subcategory IDs, abort with 422 if any missing, then extend the category’s subcategories. No public API or error handling changes beyond the autoflush context.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Category update autoflush guard
app/routes/category.py
Enclosed subcategory retrieval and assignment in db.session.no_autoflush context; retained validation (422 on missing IDs) and extension of category.subcategories without altering external behavior.

Poem

I hop through code with gentle hush,
A burrow wrapped in no_autoflush;
Subcats counted, none astray,
422 will guard the way.
The carrots sort, the fields align—
Commit comes last, and all is fine. 🥕

101-107: Consider extracting subcategory validation logic.

The subcategory validation logic (lines 101-107) is nearly identical to the POST method's validation (lines 56-61). Consider extracting this into a helper method to reduce duplication and improve maintainability.

Example refactor:

@staticmethod
def _validate_and_fetch_subcategories(sc_ids):
    """Validate and fetch subcategories by IDs."""
    subcategories = Subcategory.query.filter(Subcategory.id.in_(sc_ids)).all()
    if len(subcategories) != len(sc_ids):
        abort(422, message="One or more subcategories not present")
    return subcategories

Then use in both POST and PUT:

if sc_ids := data.get("subcategories"):
    subcategories = CategoryCollection._validate_and_fetch_subcategories(sc_ids)
    category.subcategories = subcategories  # or extend, after fixing the PUT semantics issue

100-107: Good use of no_autoflush to defer integrity checks.

The no_autoflush context correctly prevents premature flushing during the subcategory query and assignment. When category.name is modified (line 98), the category becomes dirty and could trigger an autoflush during the subcategory query (lines 102-104), causing a name uniqueness violation to be raised before reaching the try/except block. By deferring the flush until the explicit commit (line 110), all IntegrityError cases are properly handled in one place.
