When running the tests, I am obtaining "There is 1 other session using the database" with Postgresql

See original GitHub issue

Hello!

As the title says, almost everytime I run the tests I get

OperationalError: database "database_name" is being accessed by other users
DETAIL:  There is 1 other session using the database

I was not getting it until I start using django-blog-zinnia in my project.

Searching through internet, I found https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22420#comment:8

according to that comment, that person was also using django-blog-zinnia. Is there a chance that this error is produced by blog-zinnia?

Thank you!

This appears to be caused by directory pingers, which run on a secondary thread. I fixed this by disabling them in my settings.py:

# this fixes the issue
ZINNIA_SAVE_PING_DIRECTORIES = False
# This doesnt seem to make a difference for me, but I also disabled it for good measure
ZINNIA_PING_EXTERNAL_URLS = False
