Controller cache doesn't work without CacheInterceptor

[fallow burrow]

So I recently figured out that cache on a method/controller level doesn't work if you don't use CacheInterceptor on the controller level. I remember it working with just CacheTTL(milliseconds). Did something change or is it a intended behavior?

Here's a minimal repo with the issue: https://github.com/OSA413/nestjs-cache-problem (npm i && npm start)

If you comment out the @UseInterceptor(CacheInterceptor) in src\app.controller.ts file you'll see that the cache stops working.

This is expected. If it worked before, you probably mounted the cache interceptor globally

The "ChacheTTL" only sets metadata on the route that the interceptor can read. It doesn't add any behavior itself.
