Hi,
We've confirmed that there is an incompatibility between Communities FP5 and FP6 and the Invalidate Caches function. Communities FP5 requires com.adobe.granite.ui.clientlibs.content-1.0.4.zip for some of the admin ui screens. That package introduces a serviceuser "clientlibs-service" for manipulating the /var/clientlibs directory. The dumplibs.rebuild.html script in 6.1 which is in a different package does not use the serviceuser, and is coded to remove the /var/clientlibs directory during invalidation. When rebuild is triggered, the serviceuser does not have sufficient privileges to recreate the /var/clientlibs directory. A workaround is as follows:
1. Confirm the system does still have the /var/clientlibs folder intact. If it does not have that folder, recreate it and grant the clientlibs-service principal the jcr:read and rep:write privileges. This returns the system to the correct initial condition
2. Prevent future deletions of the folder by modifying /libs/granite/ui/components/dumplibs/rebuild.jsp as follows:
a) delete the following 2 lines of code, which should currently be lines 85 and 86 in the file:
s.getNode(TMP_LOCATION).remove(); s.save();
b) add the following code in its place:
NodeIterator nodeIt = s.getNode(TMP_LOCATION).getNodes(); while (nodeIt.hasNext()) { Node child = (Node) nodeIt.next(); if (!"rep:policy".equals(child.getName())) { child.remove(); } } if (s.hasPendingChanges()) { s.save(); }
This is the approach being used in AEM 6.2 and later with the clientlibs-service user
HTH,
Don
