Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved competition editing reliability by preventing conflicting simultaneous updates.
    • Competition status changes now return a clear conflict response when another update is in progress.
    • Added a short lock wait period to avoid requests hanging during editing conflicts.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for locking conflicts, missing competitions, version mismatches, and validation scenarios.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Competition updates and immutability checks now acquire pessimistic write locks. Lock timeouts return HTTP 409 responses. Tests cover locking, missing competitions, status transitions, immutability, and entity-version validation.

Changes

Competition locking and conflict handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Competition locking flow
src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/competition/dao/repository/CompetitionRepository.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/competition/validation/HierarchyValidator.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/competition/service/CompetitionServiceImpl.java
The repository adds findByIdForUpdate with PESSIMISTIC_WRITE. The validator uses this method and throws CompetitionNotFoundException when needed. Status changes use the locked entity.
Lock conflict response
src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/core/web/GlobalExceptionHandler.java, src/main/resources/application.yaml, src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/competition/controller/CompetitionControllerTest.java
The application sets a 3000 millisecond lock timeout. Pessimistic locking failures return HTTP 409 with COMMON_CONFLICT. The controller test verifies this response.
Locking and validation coverage
src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/competition/service/CompetitionServiceTest.java, src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/competition/validate/HierarchyValidatorTest.java
Tests use the locking validator path and cover successful lookups, missing competitions, status transitions, immutability, and entity-version failures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6ee71

The change adds competition lock-conflict responses, but the API documentation does not yet describe this 409 case or the expected retry behavior. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to update the documented response contract.

Poem

A guarded row now waits in line,
While status changes lock in time.
If another writer claims the key,
A 409 says, “Try safely.”
Tests watch each path with care.

Document the lock-conflict response.

Lines 245-256 add a second HTTP 409 cause for CompetitionController.changeStatus. Its OpenAPI response currently describes only stale-version conflicts. Update the 409 description to include lock conflicts and retry behavior.
