object file not saved

[flamingtop]

python 2.7.6 & 3.5.32
blitzdb 0.2.12

console commands

from blitzdb import Docment, FileBackend
backend = FileBackend('./test-blitz-db')
Document({'name', 'myname'}).save(backend)

no errors.

But the object file isn't saved at all.

You need to call backend.commit() to persist the changes to disk:

http://blitzdb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/file.html#blitzdb.backends.file.Backend.commit

Alternatively, you can set autocommit=True when creating the backend:

backend.autocommit = True
