I've been having some caching problems with a footer that is shared across multiple sites, and I'm wondering what might be up. Here's the error message and the backtrace:
Cache read: remote_footer_information ({:expires_in=>300 seconds})
Cache generate: remote_footer_information ({:expires_in=>300 seconds})
Cache write: remote_footer_information ({:expires_in=>300 seconds})
Marshalling error for key 'remote_footer_information': no _dump_data is defined for class Proc
You are trying to cache a Ruby object which cannot be serialized to memcached.

Here's the place where the cache retrieval is being defined:
require 'httparty'
module Myclassname
class Footer
include HTTParty
format :json
attr_accessor :response
def initialize
@response = Rails.cache.fetch("remote_footer_information", :expires_in => 5.minutes) do
begin
self.class.get("http://www.myappname.net/pages/my_footer.json")
rescue
false
end
end
end
def valid?
unless @response == false || @response.blank?
return @response['footer'] != nil
end
false
end
def footer
unless @response == false || @response.blank?
return @response['footer']
end
nil
end
end
end
And here's the place in the view where this is being called.
<%= yield :footer_legend %>
<div class="clearer"></div>
<div class="divider">
</div>
<% response = Myclassname::Footer.new %>
<% if response && response.valid? %>
<%= response.footer.html_safe %>
<% end %>
What am I doing wrong here? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
