I am using 4.7.13 on two different sites. On one site, when I update the class and refresh my custom report, all of the changes are visible. On the other site when I do the same thing, the changes are not visible. Even stranger, when I delete the class (i.e., the PHP file), the report is still visible in its old form. I have tried 'flush all cache' and searching for any other cached versions without success. Since this works on one site but not the other I suspect there is some configuration setting that I am missing somewhere.

It sounds like you may have an override file in place. Check Administer » System Settings » Directories to get the custom PHP path, then look in the appropriate subfolder (if it exists) for an override file.

The override file is where I have placed my new class which is based on the Sybunt class, but it has a different classname and filename. This directory is the only place this class should exist.– R DoomanMar 13, 2017 at 19:31

I am still having difficulties with this. Once a class has been registered, it never gets updated. My only recourse is to change the class name and filename by appending a suffix. I should not have to do this.– R DoomanMar 22, 2017 at 0:15

1Issue was traced to opcache, which was running on one site, but not the other. Followed the instructions here (ma.ttias.be/how-to-clear-php-opcache) to clear the cache and that resolved the problem.– R DoomanMar 29, 2017 at 15:06

One word - pseudoconstants. Put clear_cache=1 in a call in the CiviAPI and see what happens.

Maybe my mention of flushing the cache was misleading. Since my new code is not being invoked at all, I'm not sure how adding a call would do anything. I can tell it is not being invoked because I add a field in the __construct() function, and that field does not appear in the 'Columns' tab of the report. I am modifying the out-of-the-box CRM_Report_Form_Contribute_Sybunt class, which as far as I can tell doesn't have any CiviAPI calls anyway.– R DoomanMar 12, 2017 at 14:24

Same applies. Give it a go in an API call outside that class, i.e. with the API explorer.– JohnFFMar 12, 2017 at 14:41

This had no impact. Executed the following from API explorer: $result = civicrm_api3('Contribution', 'get', array( 'sequential' => 1, 'clear_cache' => 1, ));– R DoomanMar 12, 2017 at 15:54
