Resolve caching issue on build #26

Closed andydevs closed 2 years ago

andydevs commented 2 years ago

Build may not be caching properly on CI

Probably because you spelled workspace wrong

- name: Cache Dependencies
  uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: |
      ${{ github.workspace }}/build/boost-prefix
      ${{ github.worksapce }}/build/opencv-prefix # <-- should be ${{ github.workspace }}
    key: dependencies

What if you just cached the entire build directory?

Pro: Could speed up time by eliminating the redundancy of rebuilding files
Con: Eliminates the ability to test if clean build on fresh environment is successful
- Could mitigate by adding a Clean Build job/workflow
- Runs only on main branch or manual trigger
- Used for diagnosing issues with building and installing

For now, the things that make up most of the build duration is OpenCV, with boost being second.
