If the session setup, SET ROLE or version query in Connection._initialize() (the SET ROLE one via _set_role()) fails whilst self.conn is already None, the cleanup calls close() on it and an AttributeError ('Something went wrong') is raised instead of the query's error being returned. All three cleanup branches now only close the connection if it is still there.

This does not fix the underlying ERD Tool failure reported in #10728, which I couldn't reproduce; it makes the real error visible so that it can be diagnosed. For the ERD Tool that means the server log only, since _get_connection() logs the message and then raises ConnectionLost, so the user still sees the reconnect prompt rather than the error itself.

Test plan

  • New utils.driver.psycopg3.tests.test_initialize_conn_gone covering the session setup, version and SET ROLE failures (each fails with the AttributeError without its guard, passes with it)
  • --pkg utils.driver and --pkg tools.erd pass against PostgreSQL 18
  • pycodestyle clean

Refs #10728

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved connection initialization when a connection is lost during setup. Failures in session setup, version checks, or role setup now avoid attempting to close a connection that is already gone, while still reporting the error and clearing the connection state.
  • Tests
    • Added regression coverage for connection loss during each setup stage, including checks that initialization stops at the failure and does not attempt to close the dropped connection.

…onnection has gone.

If the session setup or version query in Connection._initialize() failed
whilst the connection had already been dropped, the cleanup called close()
on None, so the user saw an AttributeError and "Something went wrong" in
place of the query's own error. Only close the connection if it is still
there.

This does not fix whatever is making the query fail in the ERD Tool; it
makes that error visible so it can be diagnosed.

Walkthrough

Connection initialization now checks that self.conn exists before closing it in role setup, setup-SQL, and version-query error paths. Regression tests cover failures after the connection is dropped and verify that initialization returns an error without calling close().

Changes

Connection initialization error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard cleanup and test failure paths
web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/connection.py, web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/tests/test_initialize_conn_gone.py
The role setup, setup-SQL, and version-query error paths close the connection only when it is set. Regression tests verify the error status and message, cleared connection, query count, and that close() is not called after the connection is dropped.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Line 775: Update the initialization-query failure path in Connection.connect()
so clearing self.conn does not bypass SSH tunnel cleanup. Ensure
manager.stop_ssh_tunnel() is called only when the failing connection owns the
tunnel and no other connection still needs it; establish the existing ownership
or sharing state before changing the cleanup behavior, and preserve the (False,
status) return.
- Around line 789-790: Separate version-query failures from credential failures
in the connection flow around self.conn.close(): ensure non-credential query
failures do not reach the ERD ConnectionLost handler as password challenges or
return HTTP 428 with prompt_password enabled. Reserve prompt_password for
credential recovery so ERDTool does not retry initialization after unrelated
query failures.

…ion has gone.

Connection._set_role() had the same unguarded self.conn.close() as the
_initialize() cleanup branches, so a failed SET ROLE on a connection that
had already been dropped raised an AttributeError in place of the role
error. Only close the connection if it is still there, and add a test
scenario that drives _set_role() through _initialize() with a role set.
