913017577,MDU6SXNzdWU5MTMwMTc1Nzc=,1365,pathlib.Path breaks internal schema,25778,closed,0,,,1,2021-06-07T01:40:37Z,2021-06-21T15:57:39Z,2021-06-21T15:57:39Z,CONTRIBUTOR,,"Ran into an issue while trying to build a plugin to render GeoJSON. I'm using pytest's `tmp_path` fixture, which is a `pathlib.Path`, to get a temporary database path. I was getting a weird error involving writes, but I was doing reads. Turns out it's the internal database trying to insert a `Path` where it wants a string.

My test looked like this:

```python
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_render_feature_collection(tmp_path):
    database = tmp_path / ""test.db""
    datasette = Datasette([database])

    # this will break with a path
    await datasette.refresh_schemas()

    # build a url
    url = datasette.urls.table(database.stem, TABLE_NAME, format=""geojson"")

    response = await datasette.client.get(url)
    fc = response.json()

    assert 200 == response.status_code
```

I only ran into this while running tests, because passing in database paths from the CLI uses strings, but it's a weird error and probably something other people have run into.

The fix is easy enough: Convert the path to a string and everything works. So this:

```python
@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_render_feature_collection(tmp_path):
    database = tmp_path / ""test.db""
    datasette = Datasette([str(database)])

    # this is fine now
    await datasette.refresh_schemas()
```

This could (probably, haven't tested) be fixed [here](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/03ec71193b9545536898a4bc7493274fec48bdd7/datasette/app.py#L357) by calling `str(db.path)` or by doing that conversion earlier.",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/1365/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed

This is the simplest possible fix, with a test that will fail without it.
