Cloudflare isn't caching the

node_modules

folder so that consequents build run faster. I see the message

Started restoring cached node modules

and

Finished restoring cached node modules

messages on the top of all the deployment logs. But it's not working actually.

npm

used to reinstall and download all the dependencies every time. Now, I am using

pnpm

, and the pnpm store is set to

node_modules/.pnpm-store

but it's redownloading and installing all the dependencies every time. I am also using

astro-imagetools

which stores its cache inside

node_modules/.cache/astro-imagetools

which is also not working. And it's heavily impacting the build time. I have tested both retrying deployments, adding a new commit, and triggering the deploy hooks. But none of them is able to restore the

node_modules

.

No idea why it is logging that, but the current implementation doesn't share any state between builds, so it shouldn't be able to cache dependencies at all

Oo... Is it on the roadmap??

There is not. You can do it manually by syncing with an external storage system, but when a build is completed, everything is wiped

GH Actions to do what??

Build your project in GH Actions(which should be able to cache dependencies), and then deploy to Pages. Instead of using Pages CI

Yeah, I got that but it is possible to deploy to Pages programmatically?!

Thanks!
