## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-requisites
|
||||
|
||||
Create a workflow `.yml` file in your repositories `.github/workflows` directory. An [example workflow](#example-cache-workflow) is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for [Creating a workflow file](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#creating-a-workflow-file).
|
||||
Create a workflow `.yml` file in your repository's `.github/workflows` directory. An [example workflow](#example-cache-workflow) is available below. For more information, see the GitHub Help Documentation for [Creating a workflow file](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#creating-a-workflow-file).

If you are using this inside a container, a POSIX-compliant `tar` needs to be included and accessible from the execution path.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using a `self-hosted` Windows runner, `GNU tar` and `zstd` are required for [Cross-OS caching](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/tips-and-workarounds.md#cross-os-cache) to work. They are also recommended to be installed in general so the performance is on par with `hosted` Windows runners.
|
||||
|
||||
### Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
* `key` - An explicit key for a cache entry. See [creating a cache key](#creating-a-cache-key).
|
||||
* `path` - A list of files, directories, and wildcard patterns to cache and restore. See [`@actions/glob`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/glob) for supported patterns.
|
||||
* `key` - An explicit key for restoring and saving the cache. Refer [creating a cache key](#creating-a-cache-key).
|
||||
* `restore-keys` - An ordered list of prefix-matched keys to use for restoring stale cache if no cache hit occurred for key.
|
||||
* `enableCrossOsArchive` - An optional boolean when enabled, allows Windows runners to save or restore caches that can be restored or saved respectively on other platforms. Default: false
|
||||
* `fail-on-cache-miss` - Fail the workflow if cache entry is not found. Default: false
|

Cache version is a hash [generated](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/500d0b42fee2552ae9eeb5933091fe2fbf14e72d/packages/cache/src/internal/cacheHttpClient.ts#L73-L90) for a combination of compression tool used (Gzip, Zstd, etc. based on the runner OS) and the `path` of directories being cached. If two caches have different versions, they are identified as unique caches while matching. This for example, means that a cache created on `windows-latest` runner can't be restored on `ubuntu-latest` as cache `Version`s are different.

### Re-evaluate cache key while saving

With save action, the key can now be re-evaluated while executing the action. This helps in cases where the lockfiles are generated during the build.

### Always save cache
|
||||
|
||||
There are instances where some flaky test cases would fail the entire workflow and users would get frustrated because the builds would run for hours and the cache couldn't get saved as the workflow failed in between. For such use-cases, users would now have the ability to use `actions/cache/save` action to save the cache by using `if: always()` condition. This way the cache will always be saved if generated, or a warning will be thrown that nothing is found on the cache path. Users can also use the `if` condition to only execute the `actions/cache/save` action depending on the output of the previous steps. This way they get more control on when to save the cache.
