contact cache is not getting refreshed
May 11, 2010, 01:49:13 pm
When I try to search contacts using the top left search box, the search results are missing valid contacts, due to the fact these contacts are missing from the contact cache (civicrm_acl_contact_cache)

If I force the cache refresh then the contact shows up in search results.

How and when is the contact cache refreshed?

Thank you

hey casti:

what version? in some earleir versions of 3.0 and 3.1, we did not reset the cache in a few cases. We believe we've got most / all of those places now. Basically whenever a contact is edited (or any thign related to a contact), we reset the cache and recompute as needed

We use basic public apis to add and update contacts like:
$contact = civicrm_contact_create(&$params);
$contact = civicrm_contact_update(&$params);

and then apis to create/update location and custom fields

Can you create a small unit test case using the api's which reproduces the issue? that will help us isolate and fix the problem, in addition to increasing our test coverage

Hi Donald,

Unfortunately I never dealt with test cases before. I can provide the code if needed.

Thanks
Casti
