Issue: Model Cache Not Updating After Update/Delete

[mattscicluna2]

Description:
I recently upgraded my Laravel project from v9 to v11, which required updating this package to the latest compatible version, v12.0.2. I also tested v0.13.0 on Laravel 10 and encountered the same issue.

The problem is that while the package successfully writes data into Redis, it does not update the cache when a model is updated or deleted. The changes are only reflected after running:

php artisan cache:clear

Steps to Reproduce:
Update a model record using Eloquent.
Check Redis – the old data remains.
Delete a model record.
Check Redis – the deleted data still exists.
Run php artisan cache:clear, and only then does the cache update properly.
Expected Behavior:
The cache should automatically refresh when a model is updated or deleted, without requiring a manual cache:clear.

Environment Details:
Laravel Version: 11.x (also tested on 10.x)
Package Version: v12.0.2 (also tested on 0.13.0 with Laravel 10)
Cache Driver: Redis
Any guidance or fixes would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @mattscicluna2 please provide an example of your model and the query being ran. It sounds like the model doesn't have the Cachable trait or the query method is not supported. I'm moving this to a discussion for now until we can drill further into this and positively identify it as a bug.

This is a basic model that previously worked with the plugin at version v0.12.3. As shown, the Cachable trait is added to the model, and I have also included debug listeners to ensure they are being triggered properly. These listeners were triggered as expected. To test cache clearing, I added cache()->flush(); in the updating listener, which caused the cache to update, but it also cleared all cached entries, which is obviously not the intended behavior.

Here is the model class I am testing on
UpdatRole.txt

Small debug test I am running to try and fix the issue but no luck yet

    //CURRENT VALUE TEST
    $role = UpdatRole::find(1);
    $role->update(['name','=','test 123']);

    $role = UpdatRole::find(1);
    echo $role->name // ECHOS BACK "TEST'
    
    //IF I CLEAR CACHE then the above shows correctly.

@mikebronner I found the issue after a lot of hours debugging the issue was the laravel version.

Ah, glad you found the solution! :)
