bug: Cannot disable Apple Points

[max-kubierschky]

We do not (yet) need Apple Points yet and I want to disable them.
There is a checkbox "Apple points" on Administration -> Tasks. When I uncheck it and press Save, I am redirected to page Administration -> Foodcoop. When I navigate back to page Administration -> Tasks, the checkbox is checked again and Apple points are apparently active.

I found out now, that I can disable Apple Points by setting use_apple_points: false in config/app_config.yml. So it is ok for me now. I leave this bug open, for it is a bug anyway.
For reference: I am on v4.7.1

Thanks for the bug report. This is indeed an issue. Some suggested the issue may reside with rails-settings-cached (we're using a really old version, but the feature we use isn't supported in later versions - perhaps for a reason).

Possible ideas to fix this to replace rails-settings-cached with:

• Load all configuration variables on each request.
• Keep a cache of all variables for all foodcoops across requests, using redis to communicate that a reload is needed for a certain foodcoop. Here the memory scales with the number of foodcoops, but it shouldn't be too bad. Can use a LRU approach to keep memory in check.
• Find a gem that does something like the previous.

But first we might want to verify that the issue resides with rails-settings-cached indeed.

n.b. this issue has been reported occasionally in the past years.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I ran into this a few times. For some reason my config keeps reverting when a deployment fails and then the use_apple_points: false is commented out and therefore it is enabled (despite not being selected in the admin settings).

probably the same issue in #820
