使用文档上下文管理器,如果文档不存在,行为是什么?

Using a document context manager, what is the behaviour if a document doesn't exist?

python-cloudant 库有一个上下文管理器来简化文档处理:

# Upon entry into the document context, fetches the document from the
# remote database, if it exists. Upon exit from the context, saves the
# document to the remote database with changes made within the context. 
with Document(database, 'julia006') as document:
    # The document is fetched from the remote database
    # Changes are made locally
    document['name'] = 'Julia'
    document['age'] = 6
    # The document is saved to the remote database

如果远程文档不存在,会有什么行为?文档设置为None,还是抛出异常?

如您所见,如果文档不存在,调用 fetch() 时将引发异常。但它将在 except 块中处理。如果错误代码不是 404,将重新引发异常。因此对于除 404 之外的所有错误代码,您将获得异常。

def __enter__(self):
    """
    Supports context like editing of document fields.  Handles context
    entry logic.  Executes a Document.fetch() upon entry.
    """

    # We don't want to raise an exception if the document is not found
    # because upon __exit__ the save() call will create the document
    # if necessary.
    try:
        self.fetch()
    except HTTPError as error:
        if error.response.status_code != 404:
            raise

    return self

如果远程数据库中不存在该文档,将在远程数据库中为您创建。
