Describe issue

The gha cache style would either work or silently be ignored, instead the job fails if it is configured.

The other parts of the workflow file are sensitive.

Same here. Is there a workaround?

[JoshMcCullough]

@zacps I finally got back on this project, where I was stuck with this issue and I resolved it as follows:

Add an input e.g. use-cache:

use-cache:
  type: boolean
  description: Whether or not to use the Docker action's cache feature.
  default: true

Optionally configure the cache options when calling the docker-build-push workflow:

with:
  cache-from: ${{ inputs.use-cache == 'true' && 'type=gha' || 'type=local,src=/tmp' }}
  cache-to: ${{ inputs.use-cache == 'true' && 'type=gha, mode=max' || 'type=local,dest=/tmp' }}

Make sure you pass the input forward from your test YAML!

This is not a valid solution to me, since it requires changing the workflow. Has anyone succeeded in having GHA Cache working in act?
