[Views integration] How is caching supposed to work?

Line 225 in e3e3c9d

$options['cache'] = empty($view->query->options['cache']) ? NULL : $view->query->options['cache'];

This seems to have been ported from 7.x, but I could neither get it to work nor do I understand where this caching option should be coming from.

Can anyone involved shed some light on whether Views caching (at least time-based) in the View's configuration is supposed to work with caching CiviMRF calls at all?

In Drupal 7 you can set a caching timeout in the views ui. This is per view.
This caching setting is then passed on to civi mc restface calls.

Thanks, @jaapjansma, so this will need to be adapted for D8 since caching configuration in D8 is per Views display and can only be used if time-based caching is enabled, if I got that correctly.

Has anyone taken on that for D8 yet?

[jaapjansma]

Yes indeed this need to be adapted to d8. I also believe that the caching setting in d7 is per display of a view.
