Which cache have to clear to update new hooks?

Question

I added a new hook inside a module (hook_cart_commerce_pricecomponent_type_info_alter), which cache have to clear to only update that new hook? I mean i do not want to clear all caches.

Administration menu? Class registry? Menu? Page and else? Theme registry? Token registry? Update data?

Answer 1

To register a new hook, you can clear the following caches:

cache_clear_all('module_implements', 'cache_bootstrap');
cache_clear_all('hook_info', 'cache_bootstrap');

Answer 2

If using drush, drush cc registry will suffice for that hook.

Answer 3

Theme Registry

The most common case for manually registering hooks is in forms. Form elements are them-able but there is another dimension to how they are processed. There are the generic elements such as check-boxes, radio selects, submit button, drop down menus, etc. Each element is them-able on its own and overriding it does not require manually registering the hooks associated with it. The extra dimension comes in with custom forms where each element is arranged in very specific ways. In some forms, they are already arranged, themed and registered. For these forms, manually registering is not required. The forms that are not explicitly themed will default to how form API renders them.

Answer 4

You can use:

• module_implements()

  or:

• hook_module_implements_alter()

Answer 5

You can rebuild the registry to force Drupal to re-scan the code files and register your hook implementations. To do this with drush:

1. Before first use, install registry_rebuild:

   drush dl registry_rebuild
   

2. Rebuild the registry:

   drush rr
   

This worked for me in a case where both drush cc registry, drush cc all and clearing the hook_info and module_implements caches failed.
