node-setup@v1 permission denied, mkdir '/home/actions' when checking cach

[bdougie]

What is this?

I added Actions to my repo using the node-setup@v1 (added by clicking the template) to my repo and received the below error message.

##[debug]checking cache: /home/actions/cache/node/10.16.1/x64
##[debug]not found
##[error]EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/actions'
##[error]Node run failed with exit code 1

Reverting to node-setup@master, which is currently 2 commits behind the v1 release works without an issue. Those commits seem trivial as well, just removing node_modules.

thought

My guess is that it has to do with the current failure on the v1-release but it doesn't seem to be related. I am not sure what PR #21 is related to but it doesn't seem to anything to do with this as well.

Could you try again? This issue popped up because we were consuming an old version of the tool-cache which we have since fixed (I was seeing this issue myself and it fixed it for me)

confirming that it is now fixed. Thanks @damccorm
