similar to: Re: Call expire_fragment from outside sweepers or controllers

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 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

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)

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''m using a cache sweeper class [1] to take care of some pretty complex sweeping. However, there is a problem with the current implementation. Namely, the sweeper gets called only when an action named in cache_sweeper is called using GET. As many methods where sweeper would be useful are using postback to send the form to the same action, this causes the cache to get swept when

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

Hi, I''m trying to use sweepers for the first time and got a problem - I get "undefined method `merge'' for "/signature/ f2d7c7c66450b169.html":String". The "/signature/f2d7c7c66450b169.html" part of the error message is the cached page. Here''s my sweeper: class FooSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper observe Foo def

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

Hello all, We know that memcached or memcached-client doesn''t support regex... But It seems it doesn''t support expire_fragment either :/ I''m trying to use expire_fragment with memcached as following : expire_fragment(:controller => ''home'', :action => :list_posts) But apparently it''s not supported by memcached : RuntimeError (Not

I''m working on an app that''s basically forms and that makes fairly heavy use of Ajax. As a result of the Ajax usage, if the visitor uses the back button they get the page as it was originally loaded, not as they left it. I''ve looked at the Sweeper documentation and can not tell for sure that it''ll do what I want, which is to force an unconditional reload from

Hello, I am trying to expire fragments (or at least trigger their expiration) from a daemon that''s running in the background. The daemon is updating all kinds of important lists every few minutes from the background. So I have to find some way to DO or TRIGGER the fragment caching from this daemon. Unfortunately just using the normal commands like: expire_fragment :controller =>

For example - i have a sweeper for one model(in this case About). class AboutSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper observe About def after_create(data) expire_about(data) end def after_save(data) expire_about(data) end def after_destroy(data) expire_about(data) end def expire_about(data) FileUtils.rm_rf

Hello, I''m running Mongrel 0.3.13.3, cluster 0.2.0, and Rails 1.1.6 and I have a problem with a sweeper not having access to the controller instance. NoMethodError (undefined method `session'' for nil:NilClass): /app/models/audit_sweeper.rb:16:in `log'' /app/models/audit_sweeper.rb:9:in `after_update''

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

Trying to implement some sweepers to clean up my caching, but where do I put them? "ruby script/generate sweeeper" does nothing. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Folks, I''m going slightly crazy here - I implemented a Sweeper in an older app and used nearly the same exact code in my new app, yet I keep getting this ''value must be enumerable'' exception. Even after I cut most of the code away, I still get the error. If anyone can help, I would be much obliged. Notes: I''m using Engines... wonder if that could cause a

After drawing many virtual blank stares in the IRC channel and finding zero results on the wiki for ''sweeper'' I''m left to wonder whether these are actually officially supported, or are on their way toward being deprecated. Is there a better way of expiring caches on model saves and deletions? Sincerely, Tom Lieber tom@alltom.com http://AllTom.com/

Hello, I am trying to invalidate a cached fragment. My fragment looks like <% cache ( :controller=>''users'',:action=>''additem_to_cart'',:action_suffix=>@user.id) %> At this point,rails has created 2 cache files correctly and everything works fine becuase I dont see rails making calls to the SQL db to get items from DB.Instead it uses cache. Now

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:

[cross-posting to rails and typo lists] Hi, I''m tinkering with the code for typo, a rails-based blog engine. Typo has an XmlController with actions "rss" and "atom" which generate feed.xml files, and it uses a caches_page declaration to cache the files that get generated by those actions. It also has a Sweeper (Observer) class that expires those cached files when a
