The cache is created on but action does not find it next time

[budarin]

Here is the repo

wf:

            - name: Cache Node modules
              id: npm_cache
              uses: actions/cache@v3
              with:
                  key: nm-pw-${{ hashFiles('yarn.lock') }}
                  path: |
                      node_modules
                      ~/.cache/ms-playwright

            - if: ${{ steps.npm_cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }}
              run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile

            - if: ${{ steps.npm_cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }}
              run: npx playwright install --with-deps

cache is create in post action

But the next time the action is launched, it does not find this cache for some unknown reasons, although it is there!
