Cached fragments not expiring

Rails
1

Hello all,

I’m starting to work with fragment caching. Caching is working fine.
Expiration isn’t.

Vitals:
ActionController::Caching::Fragments::FileStore
Rails: -r5553. Also tested against edge (-r5662) with the same results

Relevant (abbreviated) code:

app/controllers/ssf_controller.rb
class SsfController < ApplicationController
cache_sweeper :order_import_file_sweeper, :only => [:index]

def index
# non-cached stuff, including @campaign
unless read_fragment(:action => ‘index’)
@results = @campaign.active_results
end
end

…

end

app/views/ssf/index.rhtml

 <%- cache do -%>
 	<%- if @results -%>
<table cellspacing="0" id="results">
 	<!-- big, expensive results table -->
</table>
    <%- end -%>
<%- end -%>

app/models/order_import_file_sweeper.rb
class OrderImportFileSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe OrderImportFile

If we import a new order import file, we want to expire cached

data based on OrderImportFile data

def after_create(order_import_file)
logger.error(%/OrderImportFileSweeper#after_create hook/)
expire_trd_ssf_campaign_results
end

def after_update(order_import_file)
logger.error(%/OrderImportFileSweeper#after_update hook/)
expire_trd_ssf_campaign_results
end

def after_destroy(order_import_file)
logger.error(%/OrderImportFileSweeper#after_destroy hook/)
expire_trd_ssf_campaign_results
end

private
def expire_trd_ssf_campaign_results
logger.error(%/
OrderImportFileSweeper#expire_trd_ssf_campaign_results/)
expire_fragment(:controller => “ssf”, :action => ‘index’)
end

def logger
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
end

end

I’ve used logger.error to make it logs to both the production and
development logs, not because it’s an error. I have
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true in development.rb,
and I can see that it’s caching from the speed of the response, the
fact that cache files are showing up in my specified cache directory,
and that the development log includes “Cached fragment:” and “Read
fragment” messages. I’ve tried both production and development
environments with the same results.

I can also see that the expire_trd_ssf_campaign_results method is
being called, as logging I’m doing within the method is being written
to the logs. However, the cached fragment isn’t being removed from
the file system and I’m not seeing the cached fragment being refreshed.

What might I be doing wrong? What else should I be looking for?

Thanks for any and all advice and suggestions. Fragment caching looks
to really improve the response time for some pages that involve
pretty intense db queries in my app. I’d love to get it working :slight_smile:
