Problem

The Doctrine result cache goes to the `doctrine_redis` store, whose connection is `doctrine_cache`. `config/database.php` did not define it, so every result cache read/write failed (Laravel throws "Redis connection [doctrine_cache] not configured", Symfony's adapter swallows it). `SummitAttendee::getAllowedBadgeFeatures()` always hit MySQL, `evictAllowedBadgeFeaturesCache()` had nothing to evict, and both `doctrine:clear:result:cache` steps of each deploy failed silently.

Change

  • Add the `doctrine_cache` connection on its own Redis database (`REDIS_DOCTRINE_CACHE_DB`, default 5, as in openstackid), with the timeouts of `cache` and its own persistent id.
  • `RedisPersistentConnectionsTest` covers the new connection (5 distinct persistent ids).
  • New `DoctrineResultCacheTest`: the result cache stores and serves an item; `getAllowedBadgeFeatures()` leaves its entry and `evictAllowedBadgeFeaturesCache()` removes it. Both new tests fail without the config change (the save returns false).

Before deploy

In a php pod of stage and production:

  • `php artisan config:show cache.stores.doctrine_redis.connection` must print `doctrine_cache` (otherwise secrets set `DOCTRINE_CACHE_REDIS_CONN`).
  • `INFO keyspace` must show db 5 empty; otherwise pick an unused index.

Do not point the store at `cache`/`default`: the deploy's `doctrine:clear:result:cache` is a FLUSHDB and both use db 0.

After deploy

  • `config:show database.redis.doctrine_cache.database` prints 5.
  • The migrate job prints "Successfully deleted cache entries." for both clear runs.
  • `INFO keyspace` shows keys in db5 once attendees with `allowed_features` are served.

Risk

Once the cache works, `allowed_features` can be up to 600 s stale: only `upsertAttendeeExtraQuestionAnswers` evicts (not badge/badge type feature edits or ticket payment/refund/reassignment changes). Out of scope here, as per the task.

Tests

`tests/Unit/Services/` (263 tests) passes locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Expanded application caching support for frequently accessed information. Cached data can be retrieved for repeat requests and cleared when it needs to be refreshed, supporting more efficient handling of repeated requests. The change also adds support for persistent Redis connections when enabled.

…ctrine result cache

The doctrine_redis store points at the doctrine_cache connection, which
database.php did not define, so every result cache read and write failed
silently and getAllowedBadgeFeatures() always hit MySQL. Add the connection
on its own database (5, REDIS_DOCTRINE_CACHE_DB) so doctrine:clear:result:cache
only flushes that database.

📝 Walkthrough

The database configuration adds a Redis connection for Doctrine’s result cache. Unit tests check result-cache operations, badge-feature cache eviction, and the connection’s persistence settings.

Changes: Doctrine result cache

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure the Doctrine Redis connection
config/database.php
Adds the doctrine_cache connection using shared Redis settings, database 5 by default, timeout defaults of 5, and a dedicated persistent connection name.
Verify result cache behavior
tests/Unit/Services/DoctrineResultCacheTest.php, tests/Unit/Services/RedisPersistentConnectionsTest.php
Adds tests for saving, retrieving, and deleting result-cache entries; attendee badge-feature cache creation and eviction; and persistence settings for the new connection.

Turning on the Doctrine result cache restores badge-feature caching. Lookups that should exclude deactivated tickets can return features from inactive tickets, and the reverse can also happen, for up to 10 minutes. Separate the cache keys by variant before merging.

Code review

No issues found. Checked for bugs and CLAUDE.md compliance.

Note (below reporting threshold): defining doctrine_cache re-enables the Doctrine result cache, which has been silently inert since the connection was dropped in ac09f46. Its only user, SummitAttendee::getAllowedBadgeFeatures, caches for 600s:

return $native_query->enableResultCache(600 , sprintf("ATTENDEES_%s_BADGE_FEATURES",$this->id))->getResult();
}

and is only evicted from the registration import path:

$this->attendee_repository->add($attendee, true);
$attendee->evictAllowedBadgeFeaturesCache();

Changes to badge type features, promo code badge features or ticket activation may therefore be reflected up to 10 minutes late (serializer and extra-question permission checks). This matches the original design, but it is a behavior change in production after a long period without caching.
