I can’t seem to be able to get a very basic cache working on my user  
model. I have the following in the user model

class User \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_cached :include =\> [:user\_videos, :user\_images, :user\_interests,  
:user\_attributes]  
…

than in the user\_controller I have

@user = User.get\_cache(params[:id])

so far so good, right? if I run memcached -vv in interactive mode this  
is what I see. The first hit, stores and the second one just serves up.

\<1840 set app-development:User:6654 0 1800 2845

> 1840 STORED  
> \<1840 get app-development:User:6654  
> 1840 sending key app-development:User:6654  
> 1840 END

But in both the development.log and the mysql query log, I see database  
calls being made (every time, not just the first time) against user,  
user\_videos, user\_images, etc.

Thanks.
