Some cached Views disappear [#2192349]

Hi,

I am currently activating Authcache on my site and yes, my site runs much faster now, thats really a great module!

Unfortunately I am facing a problem: After activating Authcache Ajax in a couple of user-specific Views (Views with Block Display), some cache well and some of them just disappear.

I searched through the issues but did not find a solution yet. Also in the debug window no errors occur. Can you tell what can be the reason that some views return empty Ajax results?

I am using Drupal 7.26

Thank you!

.. anybody who can help?

Still no solution, and I cannot identify why some Views disappear and some Views not.

This is how I configured the Views Authcache settings:
--------
Cache Lifetime: 5 Minutes (Different values have no impact)
Cache per User
Client: Ajax
Fallback: Cancel Caching
--------

With these settings a lot of Views work just fine, but as said some Views disappear.

Sorry for the delay.

When a view returns empty, do you see a different HTTP status code than 200? You can examine HTTP responses with the developer tools built into your browser.

Also take a look at the recent log entries, and check whether there are PHP errors or messages caused by Authcache.

Further on the "Personalization"-tab in the authcache settings, click on the "Frontcontroller"-pill. Check that the report lists all entries with "Routes exist" = YES. At the bottom of the page use the button "Rebuild routes" if necessary.

If this does not help, please try to find a pattern of which views work and compare them to those which do not. Some things you should consider:

Display type (block, page)
Contextual filters (yes, no)
Placement (in a sidebar block by the block module? using a panel pane? using context module?

Hi,

I checked all the points but everything seems to be fine

- all elements return HTTP 200 OK (used Chrome Tools)
- no errros in error.log and php-error.log
- Routes Exists states YES for all

Regarding a pattern for the disappearing views: there is hardly none, the only idea I have is that fields of commerce products and/or orders are referenced in the disappearing views (drupalcommerce). But other authcached views with commerce products work fine.

In this case there might be issues with the authcache settings for certain views. Regrettably I do not have documentation ready on this topic, so I try to outline in a few short phrases what is important.

Per user: Enable this checkbox unless you are using Varnish and ESI. Disabling it will not have any effect when using Authcache Ajax.

Per page: Enable this checkbox, when the content on the view depends on the page being displayed. For example when showing information on related products on a product display node. If you are using context filters on a page display, then also use per-page caching.

If you use Panels and Views Content Pane, then set authcache-settings on the enclosing pane and not on the view.

If you display a view in a block, it can help when configuring authcache-settings on the block instead of on the view.
