tl;dr
My expire_index
method below is getting called, I see the puts
in the logs. However, when I refresh the page is the stale version.
note: I am using rails_admin for updating the models. But have also noticed the same behavior using rails console directly.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

app/controllers/posts_controller.rb
class PostsController < ApplicationController
caches_action :index
cache_sweeper :post_sweeper
def index
@posts = Post.published
end
def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
end
end
app/sweepers/post_sweeper.rb
class PostSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
observe Post
def after_save(post)
puts "======================"
puts " AFTER SAVE "
puts "======================"
expire_index
end
private
def expire_index
puts "======================"
puts " EXPIRING INDEX "
puts "======================"
expire_action(:controller => '/posts', :action => 'index')
end
end
config/environments/production.rb
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
config.cache_store = :dalli_store # using memcachier on heroku
Got it to work. Here's what it took:
def expire_index
cache_key = "views/#{request.host_with_port}/posts"
Rails.cache.delete(cache_key)
end
