Slightly unrelated…. but does anyone have a “working” solution for caching

yarn/node_modules

in

github actions

? I read this SO and this in the cache action docs as well as this article and no one seems to agree on the best approach. We want things to run as fast as possible and currently with just the following…. it seems to reinstall everything every time… which is LOOOOONG.

- name: Get yarn cache directory path
  id: yarn-cache-dir-path
  run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(yarn cache dir)"

- uses: actions/cache@v2
  id: yarn-cache # use this to check for `cache-hit` (`steps.yarn-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'`)
  with:
    path: ${{ steps.yarn-cache-dir-path.outputs.dir }}
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-${{ hashFiles('**/yarn.lock') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-

- name: Install Dependencies
  run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile

in my experience, if you cahced

yarn.lock

and

**/node_modules

, after u restore,

yarn install

finishes instantly.

ya… thats what we’re doing now… just caching node_modules and using the lock file to bust.
