[ryanmitchell]

how are you calling the nav in antlers?

[JonasDoebertin]

That's pretty straight forward using the nav: tag, for example:

{{ nav:nav_secondary }}
    <li>
        {{ partial:partials/layout/header/navigation/link }}
    </li>
{{ /nav:nav_secondary }}

[ryanmitchell]

ah right, so not using {{ nav handle="nav_secondary" }}, that would explain it.

[JonasDoebertin]

Yes! Just checked our codebase to be sure. There's no use of {{ nav }} ... {{ /nav }} without a handle, but we always use the {{ nav:handle }} ... {{ /nav:handle }} syntax.

[ryanmitchell]

@JonasDoebertin I'm not able to completely replicate the issue - as in I don't get the same error. Are you on the latest version of the addon (2.1.1)? If so, does the fix here work: #32 ?

[JonasDoebertin]

• PHP 8.4.18
• Laravel 12.53.0
• Statamic 6.3.3
• Package 2.1.1

I'll try the fix 👍

[JonasDoebertin]

@ryanmitchell I just found out that we're doing the following for a footer navigation, that I wasn't aware of. This is exactly, where the cache tracking is having an issue with.

{{ nav :handle="configuration:footer_legal" }}
    <li>
        {{ partial:partials/layout/footer/navigation/link }}
    </li>
{{ /nav }}

We have a global that lets you configure which navigation to use at this place.

[ryanmitchell]

Thanks, that'll be it. I'll tag a new release shortly.

[JonasDoebertin]

Thank you so much!
