I am having some serious issues with caching ☹

The latest problem that I have is the fragments are not being deleted.

Here is the haml code within the application.html.haml file that caches  
the text just fine

- cache(:controller =\> “layout”, :action =\> “header”, :id =\>  
@account.id) do  
#header\_links  
…

Here is the code that was originally placed within a sweeper file, then  
moved directly into the controller when trying ti figure out where the  
issue was

expire\_fragment(:controller =\> “layout”, :action =\> “header”, :id =\>  
@account\_id)

Unfortunately, it doesn’t delete the cached data. I don’t know if the  
issue is due to the fact that I am using subdomains or not. The cached  
data exists in  
tmp/cache/some\_subdomain.localhost.3000/layout/header/2.cache

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The issue was that the page was also being cached thereby eliminating  
the need for the fragment. I think I am feeling the effects of caffeine  
withdrawal.
