[Bug 844631] Re: Launchpad should return 503 error pages when database is unavailable

 

The assert I mentioned in comment #2 should probably go. I think it was
added to track down disconnection errors we were seeing (and have now
been fixed in Storm).

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-
pqm/launchpad/devel/view/head:/lib/canonical/librarian/tests/test_db_outage.py
has tests for how the Librarian handles an outage. A similar approach
should be doable to bring up an appserver connected via pgbouncer. If it
is a problem, I was toying with the idea of installing the pgbouncer
fixture once for everything and running all tests through it.

Title:
  Launchpad should return 503 error pages when database is unavailable

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When a PostgreSQL database is unavailable, we should return a 503
  error code instead of a 500.

  We should still log an OOPS.

  We can make the page pretty. Wording might be tricky, as Launchpad
  will not know if this was a scheduled outage or if a power cord has
  been kicked out.
