Disable caching of eth_call requests

[melnikaite]

I have following code

        contractInstance.methods.read().call().then(items => {
          this.items = items // sometimes cached
        })

Sometimes I'm getting cached items. When it happens I don't see eth_call in Ganache log.

Workaround

        contractInstance.methods.read().call({
          gas: gas // random gas
        }).then(items => {
          this.items = items // always correct
        })

I believe a call is implemented as a local simulation. If it is cached, as long as the cache expires per block, that should be sufficient. I assume you're saying the cache does not expire per block in at least some circumstances.

Can you post the ABI for your read method?

Sure

    {
      "constant": true,
      "inputs": [],
      "name": "read",
      "outputs": [
        {
          "name": "_items",
          "type": "bytes32[]"
        }
      ],
      "payable": false,
      "stateMutability": "view",
      "type": "function"
    }

Was facing the same issue even after restarting GANACHE and redeploying the smart contract several times using truffle. Sending random gas trick mention by @melnikaite worked for me.

This is an issue of ganache and you should open it there.
