Description

[krupa raj[:krupa]]

steps to reproduce:
1.Log in to your AMO account
2.Create a few collections(my account has >20 collections)
3.Search for any add-on(eg:firebug)
4.Navigate to the details page for that add-on.
5.Notice the options available under the drop down menu in the "Add to a collection" section.


expected result:
All the collection created by the user are listed in the drop-down menu

actual result:
The drop-down menu had only one collection populated.

Probably a caching problem?

Comment 2

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

I was thinking the same thing, it could be cached for awhile.

Aaalso, note that only those collections will be shown in the list that *do not* contain the add-on in question yet. Auto-publisher collections won't be shown either. So if, for example, you have 20 collections, 18 of which contain Firebug, and one is an auto-publisher, the list will only show one choice.

May that be the cause of what you are seeing?

I tested the behavior on preview and it was consistent with what I described in comment 2.

If, however, you do not see a collection that *should* be part of the list, please reopen.

Considering it works flawlessly on my dev instance, this just smells like a caching problem. We really can't un-cache the add-on details page. Hm.

Clouserw, what do you think about this? Should we try un-caching the details page for logged-in users? :(

Comment 6

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

if we could make collections a part of getAddon() we could expire the add-on when the lists are changed.

Will we resolve this, or we`ll have to set milestone to 5.0.9 ?

Related collections show up well in production, so this is either WFM or WONTFIX.
