Second Set of Eyes on Datomic Error

Question

This is a duplicate post from the Datomic Mailing list. I was wondering if I could ask for a second set of eyes.

I tried doing A) which runs without error. But I later get an empty result when querying. So I tried hard-coding, as in B). However, this errors, saying that a date is not a valid uuid for attribute :tags/name... But nowhere in that transact, am I trying to set the :tags/name attribute. I'm setting the date for the :posts/created-date and the :posts/modified-date. I'm completely at a loss here.

If I inspect the database, as in C), I can see that my schema is indeed there. My schema is at the bottom. Any insights are appreciated.

Thanks

A)

(def mapped-fn 'datomic.api/transact)

(def adatom {:idx -1000006, :part :db.part/user, :posts/modified-date #inst "2013-01-01T08:00:00.000-00:00", :posts/created-date #inst "2013-01-01T08:00:00.000-00:00", :posts/content-type "c/t", :posts/content "c", :posts/title "t"})

(mapped-fn conn [adatom])

...

(datomic/q '[:find ?e :where [?e :posts/content-type "c/t"]] (datomic/db conn)) 
=> #<HashSet []>

B)

(datomic.api/transact conn [{:db/id #db/id [:db.part/db] :posts/modified-date #inst "2013-01-01T08:00:00.000-00:00", :posts/created-date #inst "2013-01-01T08:00:00.000-00:00", :posts/content-type "c/t", :posts/content "c", :posts/title "t"}])

Answer 1

Looking at your schema, it appears that all your schema/attribute definitions have the same id: -1000139. I'm guessing that's the cause of the mysterious error on tags\name when you changing the value of posts\modified-date.

I'm not sure how this has come about - perhaps check the code that you used to create the schema. Example below:

(require '[datomic.api :as d])

;; Create an in-memory database, with two attributes from the seattle example
(def uri "datomic:mem://seattle")
(d/create-database  uri)
(d/transact (d/connect uri)
  [{:db/id #db/id[:db.part/db]
    :db/ident :community/name
    :db/valueType :db.type/string
    :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
    :db/fulltext true
    :db/doc "A community's name" 
    :db.install/_attribute :db.part/db}

   {:db/id #db/id[:db.part/db]
    :db/ident :community/url
    :db/valueType :db.type/string
    :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
    :db/doc "A community's url"
    :db.install/_attribute :db.part/db}])

  ;; Create a function to get the id of an ident
  (defn id-of-ident [ident]
     (d/q '[:find ?e 
            :in $ ?ident
            :where [?e :db/ident ?ident]]
           (d/db (d/connect uri)) ident))

  ;; Prove the two idents have different ids
  (assert (not= (id-of-ident "community/url") (id-of-ident "community/name")))
  ;; => nil
