What is the best way to develop and test a cache in a Ruby on rails application?

Question

I am using Ruby on Rails 3, and I would like to start coding the caching system.

I am working on localhost in development mode. I heard that when working in development mode, you may encounter some "confusing" errors. Why? What is the best way for this cache?

Answer 1

You just need a clear mind.

In development.rb change this:

  config.action_controller.perform_caching = true 

Then do the work and the test. It will write cached pages in /public , and fragments in /tmp/cache

Here are some great articles to understand caching in Rails:
