GitHub Actions caching optimization guide as expected for Node.js dependencies
I'm building a feature where I'm having a hard time understanding I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm having issues with GitHub Actions where the cache for my Node.js dependencies isn’t being hit as expected, which is causing longer build times. I'm using Node.js v14 and the actions/setup-node action for configuring my environment. My workflow file looks like this: ```yaml name: CI on: push: branches: [main] jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout code uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Cache Node.js modules uses: actions/cache@v2 with: path: ~/.npm key: ${{ runner.os }}-npm-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-npm- - name: Setup Node.js uses: actions/setup-node@v2 with: node-version: '14' - name: Install dependencies run: npm install - name: Run tests run: npm test ``` When I check the logs, it seems that the cache key is being generated correctly, but it always states that the cache was not found. I verified that the `package-lock.json` file exists in the root of the repository and has not changed between builds. I also tried adjusting the cache path to `./node_modules` instead of `~/.npm`, but that didn’t work either. The workflow consistently results in: `Cache not found for input keys: ubuntu-latest-npm-<hash>`. Any insights on what might be misconfigured or how I can debug this scenario further? I'm following the best practices outlined in the GitHub documentation but still not getting the desired results. My development environment is Linux. Any ideas what could be causing this? Hoping someone can shed some light on this.
