Gradle cache not saved

[gchristov]

I've noticed that my github actions don't seem to be using/saving Gradle's cache anymore. Here's what I get from the actions

Run gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
  with:

Restore Gradle state from cache
  Gradle User Home cache not found. Will initialize empty.

and here's my actual config

      - name: Setup Java
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: ${{ env.JAVA_VERSION }}
      - name: Gradle cache
        uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
      - name: Build Javascript app
        run: |
          set -o pipefail && 
          ./gradlew assemble

after which I get

Post job cleanup.
In final post-action step, saving state and writing summary
Cache is read-only: will not save state for use in subsequent builds.
Writing job summary

I haven't really made any changes to my config. Any ideas why this might not be saving the cache?

I do have a Java setup task but it doesn't use caching

      - name: Setup Java
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          distribution: 'zulu'
          java-version: ${{ env.JAVA_VERSION }}

I just noticed this which might explain the behaviour as I’m running this on a PR branch.

I’ll give it a try on my default branch and if it works I’ll close the issue 👍
