GitHub Actions scenarios to cache dependencies for NuGet packages despite proper configuration
Could someone explain I'm currently working on a .NET Core project and trying to optimize my CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions... I've configured caching for my NuGet packages to speed up the build process, but it seems the cache isn't being restored correctly. My workflow YAML looks like this: ```yaml name: .NET Core CI on: push: branches: - main jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Setup .NET uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1 with: dotnet-version: '6.0.x' - name: Cache NuGet packages uses: actions/cache@v2 with: path: ~/.nuget/packages key: ${{ runner.os }}-nuget-${{ hashFiles('**/*.sln') }} restore-keys: | ${{ runner.os }}-nuget- - name: Restore dependencies run: dotnet restore - name: Build run: dotnet build --configuration Release ``` Despite this setup, every time I push a new commit, the logs indicate that the cache is being missed: ``` Cache not found for input keys: ubuntu-nuget-... ``` I've made sure that my solution file is indeed being referenced in the key, and I even tried modifying the cache key to include additional identifiers, but it still doesn't restore the previous cache. I've also confirmed that the `~/.nuget/packages` directory contains the packages after the first successful build, but it seems to get cleared on subsequent runs. I've experimented with different paths and keys, and I've checked the GitHub Actions documentation, but I'm not sure what I'm missing here. What could be going wrong with my caching configuration for NuGet packages in this workflow? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I recently upgraded to Yaml 3.9. Am I approaching this the right way? I'm working in a Windows 10 environment.
