Rails::Configuration default_cache_store not called

Reported by Rob Anderton | June 30th, 2008 @ 11:52 AM | in 2.x

The Rails::Configuration class initialize method does not call the default_cache_store method to assign a default value to the cache_store attribute.

If no cache store is explicitly configured then later, when the global cache is actually initialised (in the initialize_cache method of Rails::Initializer) and because the configuration.cache_store attribute is nil, then the default cache store is always a MemoryStore regardless of whether or not the tmp/cache directory exists.

    +1

    I recently run into this issue, because Rails 2.1 kept storing my cache in memory, instead of tmp/cache and I had to debug extensively.

    (I wanted to preserve cache content between deploys on a particular ActiveResource-based application. No need to flush precious cached content because of some minor change in CSS, better done with precision aim of Cap/Rake task).

    Looks like this was added.

    
        def initialize_cache
          unless defined?(RAILS_CACHE)
            silence_warnings { Object.const_set "RAILS_CACHE", ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store(configuration.cache_store) }
          end
        end

See the contributor guide.

Creating a feature request

Please don't. If you want a new feature in Rails, you'll have to pull up your sleeves and get busy yourself. Or convince someone else to do it. See the contributor guide on how to get going. But posting them here is just going to lead to ticket root.

Creating a bug report

When creating a bug report, be sure to include as much relevant information as possible. Post the code sample that causes the problem. Preferably, alter the unit tests and show through either changed or added tests how the expected behavior is not occuring.

Security vulnerabilities should be reported via an email to security@rubyonrails.org, do not use trac for reporting security vulnerabilities. All content in trac is publicly available as soon as it is posted.

Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too".
