Ability to run without previously cached image #468

Closed 3Rafal closed 1 year ago

3Rafal commented 1 year ago

While running merlin benchmarks, we use external tool merl-an. It is installed as in here: https://github.com/ocaml/merlin/pull/1640/files

When I add a changes to merl-an, the image is cached, so I have to change something in dockerfile in order to force it's build. Is there other way to do this?

Currently, current-bench doesn't have a way to specify that the docker cache should be ignored for a particular benchmark run.

But, as a work around to rebuild the image when there are changes in the merl-an repository, you can use a hack like this, in your Dockerfile:

ADD https://api.github.com/repos/pitag-ha/merl-an/git/refs/heads/main .merl-an-info

This would ensure that the layers starting from the clone of the repo are rebuilt, whenever the merl-an repo has changes.We also use this hack for supporting the feature where the benchmarks repository is different from the repository being benchmarked.
