ASP.NET Boilerplate Entity commit immediately

Question

I've started working with Entities within ASP.NET Boilerplate. Im trying to get my entities to commit to the database immediately but i cant seem to do it.

I am calling await CreateAsync(EntityDto);.

I've tried overriding the CreateAsync within my controller to include CurrentUnitOfWork.SaveChanges();.

I have also tried to wrap the code in a unit of work.

        using (var unitOfWork = _unitOfWorkManager.Begin())
        {
            var entityDto = await CreateAsync(entityDto);
            await unitOfWork.CompleteAsync();
        }

But it never seems to commit to the database immediately.

Any help would be much apricated.

ABP's Conventional Unit of Work is scoped around your Controller action and The unit of work is ambient.

You should require a new unit of work with TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew:

using (var unitOfWork = _unitOfWorkManager.Begin(TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew))
{
    var entityDto = await CreateAsync(entityDto);
    await unitOfWork.CompleteAsync();
}

Alternatively, you can suppress the unit of work with TransactionScopeOption.Suppress:

using (var unitOfWork = _unitOfWorkManager.Begin(TransactionScopeOption.Suppress))
{
    var entityDto = await CreateAsync(entityDto);
    await unitOfWork.CompleteAsync();
}
