Subject: invalid resultset when generating schema is out of scope
Hi, Something seems to have changed between 0.06002 and 0.06003. Previously I had been writing code like this: sub foo { my $schema = My::DB->connect( 'dbi:SQLite:foo.db' ); return $schema->resultset('Baz')->search; } my $rs = foo(); This no longer seems to work in 0.06003. I get error messages like this Can't call method "storage" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/DBIx/Class/ResultSource.pm line 304 The problem seems to be that ResultSets no longer work properly if the schema that generated them has gone out of scope. This wasn't the case in 0.06002 Thanks, Ben

I'm pretty sure that this has to do with this entry from the 0.06003 Changes file: "added memory cycle tests and a long-needed weaken call". It is perhaps possible that we need to move the weaken to elsewhere in the circular reference cycle to avoid this problem...

Pending us coming up with a better answer, the current one is "don't do that anymore" since the alternative is a memory leak and DBI connections remaining open, which is far, far worse in the majority of cases. If you have any suggestions as to how to make this saner without re-introducing the leak, please follow up to the mailing list.
