I'm calling the method invalidate() from Beaker and it's throwing the error the following error. The strange thing is that this was working correctly a few days ago, and the "attribute 'Field'" which is referenced in the error is actually a class that I recently removed from my code.
Why would Beaker throw an error referencing a class that no longer exists?

AttributeError: Can't get attribute 'Field' on <module 'classes' from 'C:\\Users\\rodolfo.ortiz\\Documents\\test\\classes.py'>
I was able to fix this, it turns out Beaker has a folder in which it stores the cache. Deleting the folder C:\Users\rodolfo.ortiz\Documents\Beaker\tmp\cache removed the error.
My guess is that an old copy of the cache was being retrieved and since the model did not longer match what was in the cache, an error was being thrown. But the error is misleading because it mentions an attribute, which is actually a class.
