Manually caching gems has many issues: * Not working if there is no Gemfile.lock but only a Gemfile * Not having the OS version in the key, which might cause binary incompatibility with system libraries of different ABI version. * Not taking the Ruby version in account. * Not taking the Ruby ABI version of development builds into accounts, which cannot be done with a key, but needs the commit hash. * Using restore-keys would grow the cache over time and have extra gems in the cache. * Those reasons are summarized in https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-ruby-jruby-and-truffleruby#caching-bundle-install-manually

C# - NuGet
Using NuGet lock files:
- uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: ~/.nuget/packages
key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-nuget-
Depending on the environment, huge packages might be pre-installed in the global cache folder.
With actions/cache@v2
you can now exclude unwanted packages with exclude pattern
- uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: |
~/.nuget/packages
!~/.nuget/packages/unwanted
key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/packages.lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-nuget-
Or you could move the cache folder like below.
Note: This workflow does not work for projects that require files to be placed in user profile package folder
env:
NUGET_PACKAGES: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages
steps:
- uses: actions/cache@v2

can grow very large for projects with many dependencies.

Node - npm
For npm, cache files are stored in ~/.npm
on Posix, or %AppData%/npm-cache
on Windows. See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache#cache
If using npm config
to retrieve the cache directory, ensure you run actions/setup-node first to ensure your npm
version is correct.
Note: It is not recommended to cache
node_modules
, as it can break across Node versions and won't work withnpm ci

Python - pip
For pip, the cache directory will vary by OS. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#caching
Locations:
- Ubuntu:
~/.cache/pip
- Windows:
~\AppData\Local\pip\Cache
- macOS:
~/Library/Caches/pip

path: ~/.cache/pip

Ruby - Bundler
Caching gems with Bundler correctly is not trivial and just using actions/cache
is not enough.
Instead, it is recommended to use ruby/setup-ruby
