I have a Thing object that can be presented in two ways depending on whether you are in the main controller or the list controller.
main/_thing.rb
list/_thing.rb
I can cache both of these without them clobbering each others' keys
main/_thing.rb
<% cache ["main",thing] do %>
-stuff-
and
list/_thing.rb
<% cache ["list",thing] do %>
-stuff-
<% end %>
Rails 5 has the shiny new cache capability for collections
<%= render partial: "main/thing", collection: myThings, cached: true %>
this works great
however I'd also like to the same approach in my list view with
<%= render partial: "list/thing", collection: myThings, cached: true %>
but now I have conflicting keys and everything goes squirly. I think because the cache key is generated on Thing and doesn't 'realise' that I'm using different presentation logic.
there is one hint of an error I get
'Couldn't find template for digesting: list/_thing'
I don't understand this error; list/_thing.html.erb definitely does exist.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a custom cache key (and for a while I accidentally broke production before realising the issue here).
The relevant rails code is here I think
and it looks like this should be possible.
I have tried
cached: -> myThings { [ myThings, "list" ] }
and
cached: [myThings, "list" ]
but those were really just guesses as I don't understand the logic
I'm running rails 5.0.6
can anyone help?
thank you.
