As of [email protected], it swallows the panic when the eviction listener is panicked. This behavior is documented but can be easily overlooked.

https://docs.rs/moka/0.12.4/moka/sync/struct.Cache.html#you-should-avoid-eviction-listener-to-panic

It is very important to make an eviction listener closure not to panic. Otherwise, the cache will stop calling the listener after a panic. This is an intended behavior because the cache cannot know whether it is memory safe or not to call the panicked listener again.

When a listener panics, the cache will swallow the panic and disable the listener. If you want to know when a listener panics and the reason of the panic, you can enable an optional logging feature of Moka and check error-level logs.

Change it to re-throw the panic after catching it and disabling the eviction listener.
