Caching across runs about action-docker-layer-caching HOT 6 OPEN

So, basically the whole point of this action doesn't even work?

Edit: NVM works for me lol xD

Edit: Doesn't work for different build types, e.g. cache is not shared between push and PR, even if the PR is for a single commit that was already built.

Found a fix:

        with:
          key: docker-layer-cache-{hash}
          restore-keys: |
            docker-layer-cache-
            layer-docker-layer-cache-

Turns out that layers are saved with a layer- prefix (see here) that isn't used during cache restoration (see here).

I was also surprised to see this. In my case I have a run that is triggered by a regular push, then another one when I tag the version. I was expecting the second to not rebuild docker images but it does 🤷‍♂️. They are the same commit so I would expect the cache to work in that case. I'm using docker-compose to build my images.

Run of the push before tagging it

@satackey 👆 you probably have an idea of what is going on ?

from action-docker-layer-caching.

@andre-lx and @cscetbon it might be due to the keys and restore keys being used.
Try this:

    - uses: satackey/[email protected]
      with:
        key: docker-layer-caching-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event_name }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.ref }}-{hash}
        restore-keys: |
          docker-layer-caching-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event_name }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.ref }}-{hash}
          docker-layer-caching-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event_name }}-${{ github.head_ref || github.ref }}
          docker-layer-caching-${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event_name }}
          docker-layer-caching-${{ github.workflow }}
          docker-layer-caching-

And see if it makes any difference.

FYI I tried the above and it didn't make a difference
