Fetching form from cache_form fails

>>> [!note] Migrated issue   Reported by: [czigor](https://www.drupal.org/user/826222) >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> We are caching a page in varnish under the same cid for authenticated and anonymous users. This page contains an (AJAX) add to cart form which creates the following issue: 1. Let's start with an empty varnish cache and empty {cache_form}. 2. As uid0 go to the page. The add to cart form gets cached in {cache_form} without a <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  #cache_form ?></pre></div> attribute (see <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  form_set_cache() ?></pre></div> ) and therefore without a <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  #authcache_immutable ?></pre></div> attribute (see <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  authcache_form_cacheobject_presave() ?></pre></div> ). The page html gets cached in varnish, the form_build_id in it. 3. As uid0 I reload the page. I get the page with the form_build_id. When I change product attributes, the AJAX fires. <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  authcache_form_cacheobject_load() ?></pre></div> runs but since there's no <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  #authcache_immutable ?></pre></div> set, it does not change the form. The form works as it should. 4. Now I log in and go to the same page. Logged in users are still cached by varnish so I get the html (with the same form_build_id as uid0) from varnish. 5. I try to change product attributes. AJAX fires, <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  form_get_cache() ?></pre></div> fetches the form from the cache and just like with the uid0 case, <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  authcache_form_cacheobject_load() ?></pre></div> does not do anything with it. So there's no <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  #cache_token ?></pre></div> on the form, which will break fetching $form_state in <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  form_get_cache() ?></pre></div> . I get an empty AJAX response. Note that this only happens if the page gets cached in varnish for an uid0 request. If a logged in user triggers varnish caching, uid0 can still use the add to cart form since <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  drupal_get_token() ?></pre></div> in <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  authcache_form_cacheobject_load() ?></pre></div> and <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  drupal_valid_token() ?></pre></div> in <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  form_get_cache() ?></pre></div> works for uid0 users. <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> Always set <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  $object->data['#authcache_immutable'] = TRUE; ?></pre></div> in <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  authcache_form_cacheobject_presave() ?></pre></div> (even for forms without <div class="codeblock"> <pre><?php  #cache_token ?></pre></div> ).
