# Minor caching bug with Item.Paths.GetPath() in Sitecore 8


<!--kg-card-begin: markdown-->
The `Item.Paths` property returns an `ItemPath` and with **Sitecore 8** they changed the implementation of `ItemPath.GetPath(string from, string separator, ItemPathType type)` to use caching internally. However the `separator` is not part of the caching key, only the item it self and the `ItemPathType`.
 
This of course means that the separator used the first time is then cached as part of the path and consecutive calls for this item - until the cache is cleared - will return the cached path, **ignoring the specified separator**.
 
It's probably not the most used feature, I ran into this issue when upgrading some legacy code that used this method.
 
The bug exists in 8.2 Update-2 rev.161221 and has been registered with Sitecore Support with **reference number 141772**.
 
They don't currently have a fix, but you could just use something like `Item.Paths.FullPath.Replace('/', '|')` instead if you need another separator.
