similar to: Cannot expire cache from background process?

I noticed a lot of repetition across different Sweeper models in my app expiring the same fragments and so have been trying to move all the expire_fragment calls into another model which the sweepers can then use but it''s not working as I''d hoped.. I''ve created a CacheDestroyer model and want to be able to call something to the effect of:

I''ve just set up caching on my site and want to expire some of fragments on an hourly basis. I was going to use cron and script/runner to do this. For other fragments that I am expiring, I am using expire_fragment inside a sweeper class, something like: class QuestionSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper observe Question def after_validation_on_update(question)

Hi, I''m working on a website that has a very slow loading frontpage. I wanted to start by caching certain elements that have high load. For example, it loads the last 50 comments, along with the corresponding usernames, avatars and more. So I cached that fragment and created a sweeper that observes Comment and expires after every create or destroy action. However, I have two problems:

Hi, Why is cache_sweeper not a documented method? I was pretty sure it used to be, but I could be wrong. I can''t seem to find any information on it anymore in the online docs. As a side note, looking at the code for cache_sweeper it appears to only work with the :only option, not :except (ignores it)... what''s the reason for this? Thanks, Andrew

I''m just getting my hands dirty with caching. The pages I want to cache have some user specific data on them (for example "log out"). That sent me down the route of fragment caching. One of the things I want to pagination is a paginated list. My question is how is pagination and query strings handled with fragment caching? Does each page get its own fragment and query string

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)

First let me say that Rails caching is very very cool. The traffic (and responsiveness) I''ve saved by added 10 lines of ruby code would be enourmous, if I actually had traffic... ;) Sweepers as observers are great, btw. Since every page of my side is dynamic, once I did some DB optimization I''m caching the content of the index page which was taking the bulk of the time to load

Hi, i just wanted to say my sorries in advance (sorrie/sorry/sorri)...i have just started learning about the subject of caching, but unfortunately haven''t effictively managed to implement what i had learned. obviously it''s possible to cache a whole page, or action with the caches_page :x or caches_action :y methods, but for some reason it hasn''t really worked with

In the site I''m building, my models are *almost* never updated within ActionController-- all new data comes in via command line scripts manipulating ActiveRecord directly. Can anyone offer any hints about expiring cached actions without Sweeper? -Ross

Hi, I''ve started to implement page caches but I''ve hit a brick wall getting a sweeper to clear the cache when needed. It seems that any models that I tell it to observe aren''t being observed properly. If I add the sweeper to a controller the initialize method runs, but no matter what I do the after_save/after_update callbacks aren''t running. Also if I try to

hello. i''m trying to update to rails 2.1 using instant rails, so i can use the new cache features, but when i try to use the method "Rails.cache.write" in a controller, i get the error "undefined method `cache'' for Rails:Module (NoMethodError)" and if i try to force the cache store to memory_store using "ActionController::Base.cache_store =

Hi I''m working on a program which relies on heavy cache sweeper usage. I''ve just bumped onto an odd problem. When using render_component method in layouts or templates with cache sweeping turned on, Rails throws an exception with the following message: NoMethodError in TestController#index You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while

I created a sweeper ItemSweeper and saved it in app/models/item_sweeper.rb. Then I put this in my item_controller.rb: cache_sweeper :item_sweeper, :only => [:create, :destroy, :update] But now when I call the view action, I get this error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `title'' for nil:NilClass) on line #5 of app/views/item/view.rhtml: 5: <H1

I am trying to figure out a way to call the expire_fragment outside of a controller. I need to expire some fragments on a hourly basis. I have a Thread that every hour that will perform a task. The expire_fragment is located in the module ActionController::Caching::Fragments as an instance method. Do I need to mixin the model ActionController::Caching::Fragments into my class? Or is there

So I''m trying to follow along in Chad Fowler''s Rails Recipes (recipe #59, Keeping track of who did what) and I simply want to access the current user from within my cache sweeper. Normally you just reference @current_user but that doesn''t seem to be the case here. In Chad''s example, he calls controller.session[:user]. What''s the Authlogic equivalent?

Hi Railers, I am trying to create a simple application like a guest book which has users and uses sessions to keep track of which users are logged on. The user''s page is constructed after doing some SQL queries and the user clicks on another link and hits the back button I dont want to regenerate the whole page (which is what happens now) .So I want to use some kind of caching mechanism.

Hi all, I''m having problems trying to expire the ''index'' action of a controller. In short, expire_action :action => ''index'' doesn''t work, but expire_fragment (url_for :action => ''index'').gsub(/\/index/,'''').split("://").last works fine and deletes the cached page as expected. I

I created a script that I call by ''./script/runner -e production UpdateItems.get_new_items()'', which basically calls the model Item: Item.create(attributes...) I''ve set up a cache sweeper which removes caches after each create/destroy/update on Item, and it works fine when accessing controllers via the web server, but apparently doesn''t work via runner.

I''ve seen a couple of workarounds on the mailing list related to expiring cached fragments inside of models, but nothing too clean. Anybody have any suggestions for handling this at the model-level? I have an application is updated outside of the Rails controllers, so I can''t use a Sweeper. The 2 methods I''ve seen: a. Use a callback to generate an HTTP post on a
