Anonymizer process control does not work about pynonymizer HOT 7 CLOSED

However, there's no reason to think it didnt create the database. It's just that it doesn't log anything when it does. Remember that the schema for the database comes from the dumpfile and not the CREATE_DB step.

I understand that the table doesn't exist at anonymization-time, though. If i was looking into this, I'd start by making absolutely sure that the table in question is in the dumpfile/sql and that the strategyfile is referencing it correctly, including any options like schema, etc.

To be clear, have you tried restoring this dumpfile manually, and does that work (i.e is the table present there?).

from pynonymizer.

The pynonymizer works correctly if you use the only_step parameter in the run() call for all the steps specified individually which is my current workaround ,ie,

1. CREATE_DB
2. RESTORE_DB
3. ANONYMIZE_DB
4. DUMP_DB

What is does not appear to do is go through its default process control as you specified in the readme and code as i mentioned in my above comments.
I will look into enabling a logger to access the pynonymizer logs at a hopefully higher verbosity level to investigate the issue more over the weekend
Thanks for the quick response @rwnx

At the moment, to go further on this I think we need to put together a replication case we can test against.

The information provided here would indicate something seriously wrong with the normal flow of the tool, which we definitely don't want, but likewise, doesn't seem to happen in any of our tests.

Can you give any more info about your use case?

How big is the dumpfile you're restoring? ( My thinking is it might be related to the fix in #98 ). If you try against the current master, that could be useful. alternatively, wait for this change to ship in the next release !

from pynonymizer.

The dump file i am restoring is only about 50 MB and i was using the code in master , but looking at the version ( i am using 1.21.3) , i assume the #98 fix is available in 1.22.0 ?
The release history at https://pypi.org/project/pynonymizer/1.22.0/#history does not tell me what fixes are included in that release . Can you please confirm if the fix is present in 1.22.0 release , @rwnx ?

from pynonymizer.

Hi, yes, that's present in v1.22.0.

If you want to know what's in each release, you can check out the CHANGELOG or compare git tags.

Thanks @rwnx !!

I'm assuming this was fixed for you, so am closing this issue. Let me know if that's not the case.
