The cache is invalid or not created

[carlosalvidrez]

Hi guys, I got the cache ... used it well, but after upgrading my computer's OS, I started getting this error. I know I have the cache in the same place, same permissions (everyone can read+write), and yet I get this error when invoking the get_metadata method. Any hints?

"The cache is invalid or not created"

I'd like to avoid having to recreate the cache, as it may take hours on end to download.

Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out. I haven't experienced this issue before. Could you provide some more details on your OS version before/after the update, your Python version, which metadata store you're using (Fuseki, SleeypyCat or SQLite), etc.? Thanks in advance!

hi @c-w , I experience the same issue. But instead of updating the system, I tried to do something with all books in english, i.e. book_ids = get_etexts('language', target_language). After that, the cache becomes invalid and I have to re-download it for hours.

Hi I just encountered something similar. I was running my code a couple of times and this error popped up

...
MemoryError: (12, 'Cannot allocate memory -- Lock table is out of available locker entries')

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
...
    raise InvalidCacheException('The cache is invalid or not created')
gutenberg._domain_model.exceptions.InvalidCacheException: The cache is invalid or not created

Searching for the memory error I found this resource: major.io

I'm going to see if this sorts out the issue and get back to you

Relavent info for my situation: only using: gutenberg.query.api.git_metadata() and I'm using it to get the author and titles only

I'm running

• macOS: 10.15.5
• python: 3.7.7

Unfortunately I don't know too much about what I'm doing. I realize now the reference I listed just rebuilds their data base : ( . but it looks like they identified an issue with stopping the process with keyboard interrupts. Which definitely could be the reason I ran into this error. I have canceled a few scripts mid process and it happened just after making a few tweaks and restarting : (. Not sure if you can help, but I'd appreciate any advice/perspective : )
