I am trying to to keep the gradle cache in my GitHub workflow, but it is not working. I am new to gradle and am struggling to find out how/why I am unable to keep the gradle cache between workflow builds of my project
in my GitHub workflow file, I have two gradle caches. One of the gradle cache and the other one is the gradle wrapper:
- name: Setup Gradle Dependencies Cache
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: ~/.gradle/caches
key: ${{ runner.os }}-gradle-caches-${{ hashFiles('**/*.gradle', '**/*.gradle.kts') }}
- name: Setup Gradle Wrapper Cache
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: ~/.gradle/wrapper
key: ${{ runner.os }}-gradle-wrapper-${{ hashFiles('**/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties') }}
Locally a ./gradlew clean
followed by a ./gradlew build
will build my project in about 33 seconds... On GitHub, it takes 3 times as long (?): https://github.com/jactor-rises/jactor-persistence/runs/4794532441?check_suite_focus=true
How can I set up an effective cache of dependencies and wrapper in a GitHub workflow?
I am experiencing problems with the cradle cache and have removed the cache and now using a gradle action for caching of dependencies:
- name: Cache Gradle dependencies
uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: ~/.gradle/caches
key: gradle-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties') }}
