Rabl nested object caching

I can repost if needed. I also tried

cache root_object # instead of cache @Retailer

in _school.json.rabl

I added my current solution to stackoverflow above (splitting the view). Another issue is caching the partial itself. How do I cache within the partial?

I don't think this is a Rabl bug. Looks more like a design issue with how your templates are setup. If Students belong to a School, Students should be nested under the School template. If you are looking at individual students, you should pull the Schools in a separate request and refer to them using their foreign keys. If you really need to render the entire school template under each student, you'll need to figure out how to implement reverse touch or disable caching.

Your data should look something like this:

{
  school: {
    id: 1,
    name: "Stanford",
    students: [
      {
         id: 1000,
         name: "John Doe",
         school_id: 1
      },
      {
         id: 1001,
         name: "Jane Doe",
         school_id: 1
      } 
    ]
  }
}
