AEM 6.5.2 - issue with cache invalidation of an alias

[#1]

Hello,

Recently since upgrading to 6.5, i've been having issues with cache invalidation not happening on aliased locations during deactivation events.

eg. -  I have /content/test/en_US/testpage.html that would have an alias to /content/test/en/testpage.html

On activation of this page, I see the flush agent behaving properly for both the aliased and non aliased location.

However, if I then go to deactivate this page -

The page is deactivated and invalidated on the non aliased location, but remains in cache at the aliased location.

I do have the alias update checkbox selected on my flush agent on the publisher.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Please go through https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/page-invalida...

Invalidating Cached Pages From AEM .

I would recommend setting up a DEBUG logger on com.day.cq.replication to verify if the alias deactivation is getting triggered and then change the dispatcher log level to DEBUG to verify what's happening on dispatcher when this kind of request is requested.

It was, we were using 6.2

Was this working before? What version were you using then?
