UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW, unable to obtain exclusive access to this record

For the last few days on the Force IDE when I try to deploy my files to the server I keep getting:

Save error: unable to obtain exclusive access to this record

Hi Robo,

You say that the error is encountered during deployment of your code via Force.com IDE , which implies perhaps there's a Test Class - which is doing some data operations which subjects data/ records to simultaneous operation by code/ triggers -try modifying your test classes with this point in mind -" Structure Data creation ina way that recursion or circular referencing of data is avoided" . That might solve your problem.

Alternatively you might try deploying your code in small packets to avoid firing of multiple classes ( Try change sets - though technically its same as IDE propelled deployment) - so the catch is to split or structure your test classes to avoid recurssion.

 

Hope this answers your query.. 

Thanks...

Thanks, that fixed it.  Tests were causing circular reference.
