Unable to Marshal.dump DM objects (0.9.7)

Reported by Ken Robertson | December 3rd, 2008 @ 10:07 AM

Attempting to cache some frequently run queries, though marshaling fails on all DM objects on the latest gems (0.9.7).

For a test script, see: http://gist.github.com/31593

If you try to marshal a freshly created DM object, it will work, but if you retrieve that object from the DB, then it fails:

TypeError: no marshal_dump is defined for class Thread from (irb):22:in dump' from (irb):22

By inspecting the object some, it appears there is a @transactions instance variable in the repository which contains a thread. My guess is it tracts which threads a transaction is on, though it likely needs to close those out before marshaling.

    A related problem: even a freshly created DM object cannot be marshaled if its model uses associations (ie 'has'). This means that no such object can be stored in sessions, which for me at least is a serious problem. I also posted about this at google groups, http://groups.google.com/group/m...

    I'm actually thinking this is caused by DM::Collection having a Proc inside itself that is used to lazy-load the results from the repository.

    Is there a hook method that could be added that Mashal will used to dump the object so we can remove the reference to any associations?

    although #470 says resolved, but I can not put the DataMapper object to memcached because of the error.

    • Tag set to “bug, marshal”
    • State changed from “confirmed” to “resolved”
    • Assigned user set to “Dan Kubb (dkubb)”

    This should be fixed in the following commit in sam/dm-core:

    Marking this as resolved for now. Please install this version of dm-core, and respond if it doesn't resolve the issue for you, and I will reopen the ticket.

    I can confirm that it worked just fine with the 0.9.9 gems! Thanks a ton, very grateful!
