Insert does not seem to do so?

[gudstrand]

I have a dictionary that defines a vendor, url and some other metadata. I wanted to create a db of entries that contain the entry append with a notification datetime. So, I added a datetime to dictionary and after creating a custom datetime serializer I could insert an entry to the db.

The issue is that any attempt to insert a second record for the same vendor, with a different time, results in no change to the database. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hey @gudstrand, could you provide an example program that shows the probem you're having? It's a bit difficult to pinpoint the issue without inspecting the code that results in the problem 🙃

So, I wrote a sample program, and it works. I have no idea why it is failing in my main, but I am back to debugging. Quick question, how and when does tinydb decide to write to the filesystem?

Unless you're using the CachingMiddleware it's writing the data on every insert/update/remove/truncate operation
