Ticket: Changing TTL to “0” sets static cache items to expire in 5 seconds

Nov 16, 2022When I change the speedy_ttl value to “0” in the config settings, the expiration time for static cache items is set to 5 seconds (see screenshot). The expected behavior is the cache items should not expire until cache is broken, correct?
This was set in config.php:
$config[‘speedy_ttl’] = “0”;
Thank you!

For static caching if the TTL is less than 5 seconds it defaults to 5 seconds because of potential redirect loops. All other drivers do accept a 0 value, but not static (I should update the docs, sorry about that). If you need long TTL for static cache you’ll have to give it a high number. You could try this…
Update line 297 of the StaticDriver.php to this:

Or just don’t set the TTL…

Thanks, I tried making the code change to StaticDriver.php but it didn’t have any effect. It still sets expires at to 5 seconds.
If I don’t set the TTL at all, then it defaults to 1 hour.

On line 293 of that file change the conditional to this instead:

Great, changing that conditional worked. Cache items show expiration as infinite now.
Note though that setting TTL to “0” with quotes doesn’t work. Needs to be without quotes around the 0 because of strict equality operator in the conditional:
$config[‘speedy_ttl’] = 0;
Thank you!

I changed it to a falsey check…

Actually, this is a better change.
You could also just set $config[‘speedy_ttl’] = false; too and it would have worked.
