Comment (by pwmarcz):
I'm running about the same problem; it happens after a successful test run
as well. More details: we're using Django 1.6 (though it happened in 1.5
as well) and Selenium tests with a `TransactionTestCase` and a
`LiveServerThread` from Django. After every Selenium test run (in
`fixture_teardown`) we're closing Selenium then joining the server thread,
From what I could determine, `django.db.connections.all()` doesn't show
any other connections after closing the thread; however `SELECT * from
pg_stat_activity` sometimes reveals a second connection (reported as
having done `COMMIT;` just before the fixture teardown). The second
connection often lingers for half a minute. We're not using the
`CONN_MAX_AGE` setting.
I should also mention that we're sometimes closing the test while the
server is processing a request, this is sometimes unavoidable because of
Ajax requests in a page. Some of these requests get dropped when we close
Selenium, disconnecting the client. I suspect that the `LiveServerThread`
(or rather, StoppableWSGIServer) sometimes does not shut down the database
correctly; maybe when it happens during a long-running request handler.
For now, we're [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5408156/how-to-drop-a
-postgresql-database-if-there-are-active-connections-to-it|forcibly
closing all other Postgres connections]] to work around the issue, but
it'd be great if someone could investigate this.
