re.error: bad character in group name when using custom formatter in a tag

[asparagusbeef]

This is my code:

@cache(
    ttl=cache_control_ttl(default="7d"), 
    key="user:me:user_id:{token.credentials:auth_jwt()}", 
    tags=["user", "me", "user_id:{token.credentials:auth_jwt()}"]
)
@userRouter.get("/me", tags=['user'], response_model=User_Response)
async def me(client: AsyncClient = Depends(get_http_client), token: HTTPAuthorizationCredentials = Depends(bearer)) -> User_Response:
    response = await client.get(f"{DB_API_URL}/user/me", headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token.credentials}"})
    return await handle_web_response(response)

I also tried

@cache(
    ttl=cache_control_ttl(default="7d"), 
    key="user:me:user_id:{token.credentials:auth_jwt()}", 
    tags=["user", "me", "user_id:{auth_jwt(token.credentials)}"]
)

auth_jwt() is defined like so:

@default_formatter.register("auth_jwt")
def _auth_jwt(jwt: str) -> str:
    return authenticate_token(jwt)

Perhaps I am doing something incorrectly but I couldn't find in the docs a reference to using a custom formatter (registered with cashews.default_formatter.register) in a key + tagging it. Assistance will be much appreciated!

Hello !

Your code looks correct, that is just a bug in library. Unfortunately I ( and probably others ) do not use tags in this way, with advanced templates. That is why it is not stable and have a bugs. So thank you for reporting this issue, it leads to improvements in the library.

The fix is on the way. I will let you know when the fix is released

[Krukov]

Should work with 7.1.0 ( I've just released). Please reopen it the issue still exist

[asparagusbeef]

Thank you so much for the responsiveness and for making this library! It's really appreciated
