I'm running my local server in production mode and a fragment cache on the front page fails to render at all. I route the front page to the about controller:
map.index '', :controller => "about", :action => 'front_page'
And the action looks like:
def front_page unless read_fragment(:part => 'time') @time = Time.now end end
Finally, app/views/about/front_page.rhtml has at the top:
before <%- cache(:part => "time") do -%> in the fragment <%= debug @time %> <%- end -%> after
No cached fragment appears in tmp/cache/localhost:3000/ and when I load the page (yes, I remembered to stop and start the server) I see "before after" without "in the fragment" at all. I'm at a loss -- the cache block is just silently failing to produce anything, and there's nothing in the logs. I've got caches working on other actions, so I know it's not all of caching that's broken.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
