Cache went stale and wasn't recreated - explanation about cashay HOT 3 OPEN

a dependency links the op (usually your viewmodel container) to the model. without flushing deps, your app won't ever know what got updated, and could update when one isn't required.

is your mutationhandler referencing all the ops that it will mutate? if not, that's usually how it goes stale (the mutation updates the underlying data, but the query hasn't been updated by the mutation).

the cachedResponse will always get removed if any of the underlying doc fields get changed. if we didn't cache, then the object would get recreated every time dispatch got called.

Well the thing is I don't use mutation as a mean to return data in this case, I only use the invalidate function in the mutationHandler (which by the way is not working on master, and I made a PR to solve that, the 'this' keyword does not refer to the singleton which means this._willInvalidate... is never set to true).
This is brutal in a sense, but should get the job done while I work on better mutation handling.

the cachedResponse will always get removed if any of the underlying doc fields get changed. if we didn't cache, then the object would get recreated every time dispatch got called.

So the flushDependencies function removes the cachedResponse of a query that just fired... Meaning that if I query a list of post, get into a post detail view (so the list is not "observed" anymore it's in a different view) modify this post with a mutation that triggers a mutationHandler on the list query, it will trigger the exception (no matter what this mutationHandler does btw, since this happens after the exception). Will try to isolate a test case for you to grasp what's going on.

yeah, an example might be good. whenever dispatch is called, all the invalidated queries will get recalculated.
