Trouble expiring cached pages

I’m having a bear of a time getting my cached pages to expire. Maybe
one of you guys can help me out. I’ll show my sweeper and then my log
to show that it “should” be working.

class PragmaticSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Comment
def after_save(comment)
expire_page(comment.post_id)
end
private
def expire_page(post_id)
logger.error(“I made it to the caching method in the SWEEPER!!!”)
expire_action(:controller => ‘pragmatic’,
:action => ‘view’,
:id => post_id)
end
end

and now here’s my log that shows that the expiration “should” be
happening.

SQL (0.000369) INSERT INTO comments (name, raw_comment, date,
post_id, web_site, comment, email) VALUES(‘bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb’,
‘bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb’, ‘2006-04-08 19:46:25’, 56, ‘’,
‘bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb’, ‘’)
I made it to the caching method in the SWEEPER!!!
Expired fragment: banjo.dnsdojo.org:9999/pragmatic/view/56 (0.00024)

Anyone got a clue? I’m stumped.

I figured this one out on my own. Here’s the solution if for anyone who
winds up googling the question. It boils down to not naming your
expiration method the same name as the one used by the caching module.
Duh!! I wasted way too much time this!

class PragmaticSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Comment
def after_save(comment)
expire_view_page(comment.post_id)
end
private
def expire_view_page(post_id)
logger.error(“I made it to the caching method in the SWEEPER!!!”)
expire_page(:controller => ‘pragmatic’,
:action => ‘view’,
:id => post_id)
end
end
