Changing session storage type doesn't appear to work

[craigh]

this is a problem in 3.1.0 ONLY

when changing session storage type, the value is properly updated in the config but it doesn't switch the type of storage actually.

I suspect the cache simply must be properly cleared so the config is reloaded.

If I delete the cache/prod/sessions dir then the method changes

I'm not sure the previous comment is actually true.

The problem I think lies in my lack of understanding of the container and the rebuild process. The same problem that affects module installation and other container-related operations. Before Sy5 it was pretty clear how the container worked - everything worked from the files in the cache folder... delete the cache and it rebuilds and changes the operation/behavior. Since Sy5, that seems changed - the container seems held in memory and doesn't seem to affect change very quickly... sometimes several page loads or leaving a site and returning are required before the cached files are rebuilt and change the operation/behavior. This seems random and unpredictable and makes changing the container very difficult.

seems held in memory

Possibly this is related to opcache...

it appears I am using OPcache without understanding it. So perhaps the problem is that and not Sy5...

[craigh]

indeed. disabling OPcache seems to have cleared the problem. behavior is now as expected...

the problem of course is how to deal with this in a generic way in production for zikula installations.

this seems promising https://ma.ttias.be/how-to-clear-php-opcache/

opcache_reset();
