TLDR; the files are cached but it's possible that the package manage isn't accessing them
@mgaitan I used your repo to explore how buildkit-cache-dance
works. After troubleshooting and adding some logs I've concluded that buildkit-cache-dance
is working as expected. So my guess is that it's something about how you're installing the modules. Here's the run with all my troubleshooting logs: https://github.com/henryjw/pip-docker-cache-dance/actions/runs/7371832005/job/20059582773
I'm not experienced enough with Python to know why it's not working for you, but for nodejs using the pnpm
package manager, there are flags that must be set to tell it to give higher priority to the cached files before attempting to download them.
My install script is pnpm install --prefer-offline --frozen-lockfile
, where --prefer-offline
tells the package manager to give priority to the existing files.
I am attempting to use
buildkit-cache-dance
to cache pip dependencies in a GitHub Actions workflow but am encountering issues where the cache is not being used.My example repo: mgaitan/pip-docker-cache-dance
Consider this commit where I removed a dependency, while supposely the rest are available in the cache.
However the logs indicates that despite the cache directive, pip dependencies are being downloaded again.
I'd appreciate any insights or assistance to resolve this issue.
