Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Views has a setting for 'Disable views data caching' which can prevent Views data being cached.
I propose adding a similar setting that allows for any caching plugins to be disabled (for use when testing or developing locally, for example).
Original bug report:
Setting 'Disable views data caching' on admin/structure/views/settings/advanced doesn't actually disable Views caching because views_plugin_cache uses cache_get() instead of the wrapped views_cache_get() (which checks the views_skip_cache variable).

justanothermark CreditAttribution: justanothermark commentedPatch to fix. Note: bug was found & this tested with views_plugin_cache_time.
Had to add an $expire parameter to views_cache_set so that we didn't lose any existing behaviour.
Also added $bin parameter to cache_get/set for completeness in wrapping cache_set but would be happy for that change to be taken out if it's preferable to put everything from views_cache_set into the 'cache_views' bin.
Defaults provided for both parameters so that all existing code will continue to work as it always did.

justanothermark CreditAttribution: justanothermark commentedMissed the $use_language parameter form views_cache_set() calls.
Comment #6
justanothermark CreditAttribution: justanothermark commentedAfter offline discussions I have realised that the 'Disable views data caching' is for the data Views uses for processing & not the results of Views queries.
Therefore, I have updated the issue & patch to a feature request of a new setting to prevent any cache plugin from caching data or output. The patch works by adding a setting to the advanced settings page and checking this before Views loads the caching plugin on a view (in the same way that the live preview avoids caching).

renatogHi how are you
Ths idea is perfect. But in VIews for D7 the Team using for only fixes and new features are in Drupal 8.
I recommend that you create your project for DO.
