Yet another static cache problem. This time, the menu tree can become stale when inserting multiple book pages in a single request. As the menu tree is stale, children of children can't be inserted:

Example:

Parent
-- Child
-- Child

works but

Parent
-- Child
--- Child

will fail on the last page.

Patches are forthcoming. This affects Drupal 6 as well.

Here are patches for 6.x and 7.x. Any suggestions for appropriate test cases? I could just verify that the cache is accurate after adding menu items, but that seems a little simple.

Also, I currently reset the cache in menu_rebuild(), and then leave it up to the calling code to call menu_rebuild(). I'm guessing that book.module should call that somewhere (it doesn't), but I think that should be a seperate patch as it probably occurs in other modules as well.

I ran into this problem with my custom module in Drupal 6. The suggested patch fixes my problem, so I hereby vote to have it in the next Drupal 6 release.

This has been dealt with in HEAD over at #422368: convert menu.inc to use new static caching API.

Anyone feel like giving the patch against 6.x another review?

I simply added manually the change to the head, the last patch won't add everything.

Re-roll looks good; don't want to RTBC it as I created it, but I'm marking as a newbie-friendly patch as it's a fairly simple and clear change.

Here is a reroll to sync against DRUPAL-6.

I am also running into this static caching issue.

The attached patch adds a reset parameter to menu_tree_all_data() so you can refresh the cached storage of a particular menu. This is not an issue in D7 because menu_tree_all_data() uses the drupal_static API. However, this bug still affects D6.

Bump. Is this something that will be addressed?
