Comment:
Adding a new patch for this, which extends the modified cache approach to
cache middleware. I had noticed on some of my projects that certain tests
were failing when using cache middleware, which turned out to be because
the cache was returning the response and thus the context was not included
in the response to the test client. Tests reproducing this error state as
well as a fix are included in the latest patch. The full test suite passes
as well (minus 5 unrelated failures that are on trunk right now).
The failures to me are a good illustration of why this patch is important.
The system should ideally be as clean as possible in between each test;
cache values carrying over from test to test create problematic behavior
when a full test suite is run.
I might post again to the dev list if there's no movement on this. If
anyone on the CC list here would like to review this patch and give any
feedback please do so. At this point, all that's really required from what
I can see is a few notes in the documentation.
