Abstract Block class not updating ACF fields

[Fcog]

I've found, since the implementation of the Abstract block class, very difficult to see the changes when the get_fields() function is changed.
For some reason this implementation doesn't let see the changes immediately.
For example, if I update the ACF fields for a block, and then update the function get_fields() from the block file, the changes don't appear.
Sometimes I have to wait hours to see the change reflected.

Hi Fran, can you please explain this with a code sample? Does this only happen on local or on the server too? It also sounds like a cache issue, so can you check that object caching, etc is deactivated.

`class Accordion extends AbstractBlock {

/**
 * Register the block.
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function register() : array {
	return $this->do_registration(
		[
			'description'       => 'Adds an accordion to your page.',
			'icon'              => 'sort',
			'category'          => 'common-blocks',
			'template_type'     => 'molecule',
			'template_name'     => 'accordion/accordion',
			'wrapper_elem'      => 'div',
			'alignment_options' => true,
		]
	);
}

/**
 * Re-format the fields to the format required by the UI component.
 *
 * @param array   $block The block settings and attributes.
 * @param string  $content The block inner HTML (empty).
 * @param boolean $is_preview $is_preview True during AJAX preview.
 * @param integer $post_id Id of the current post.
 * @return array
 */
protected function get_fields( array $block, string $content, bool $is_preview, int $post_id ) : array {
	return [
		'items' => get_field( 'items' ) ?? [],
	];
}

}
`

if I initially create the above block, and then I want to change any data of the arguments of the functions do_registration() or the get_fields(), the change is not reflected.

for example, when changing the alignment, the ui template or the acf key:

`class Accordion extends AbstractBlock {

/**
 * Register the block.
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function register() : array {
	return $this->do_registration(
		[
			'description'       => 'Adds an accordion to your page.',
			'icon'              => 'sort',
			'category'          => 'common-blocks',
			'template_type'     => 'molecule',
			'template_name'     => 'accordion/accordion2',
			'wrapper_elem'      => 'div',
			'alignment_options' => false,
		]
	);
}

/**
 * Re-format the fields to the format required by the UI component.
 *
 * @param array   $block The block settings and attributes.
 * @param string  $content The block inner HTML (empty).
 * @param boolean $is_preview $is_preview True during AJAX preview.
 * @param integer $post_id Id of the current post.
 * @return array
 */
protected function get_fields( array $block, string $content, bool $is_preview, int $post_id ) : array {
	return [
		'items' => get_field( 'items_2' ) ?? [],
	];
}

}`

I've tried clearing the cache by adding this to the lando file (then restarting lando):
cache: false
edge: false

but it doesn't work.

The only way the changes take effect is when I restart lando or wating a long time.

Have you tried disabling / clearing object caching (redis / memcached / any object caching setup in WordPress)? I remember we had a similar issue before.

yes, I added this 2 no cache flag to the lando file:

cache: false
edge: false

I initially thought it had solved the issue

[adamf321]

I can only think that some sort of persistent object cache is running. A couple of things you could try out next time you get this problem: - Run this https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_cache_flush/ - install debug bar and use it to check what's in the cache https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/ Could you try these and let me know what you find?
