Caching update feature not reliable

mmuller88 · May 21, 2019, 11:55am

Hi there.
We are using the caching feature for our created /dist folder:

cache:
  directories:
    - node_modules
    - dist

But if a new build run is triggered and some files are changed the update is missed for the last update. That isn’t just a output rendering issue. The tests are passing locally bug not on Travis and removing the caching directory /dist solved the issue. Here i the Travis log where you clearly can see that the last file seems broken:

https://travis-ci.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/jobs/201751234#L629

it should be app.config.json and not app.config.jso

As well I checked other builds from our repositories where the same happens. The last file name gets cut.

We truncate the log output at 1000 characters.

def initialize
  @casher_dir = ENV['CASHER_DIR'] || File.expand_path(".casher", ENV["HOME"])
  @mtime_file = File.expand_path('mtime.yml', @casher_dir)
  @checksum_file_before = File.expand_path('md5sums_before', @casher_dir)
  @checksum_file_after  = File.expand_path('md5sums_after', @casher_dir)
  @fetch_tar  = File.expand_path('fetch.tbz', @casher_dir)
  @push_tar   = File.expand_path('push.tbz', @casher_dir)
  @paths_file = File.expand_path('paths', @casher_dir)
  @mtimes     = File.exist?(@mtime_file) && File.size(@mtime_file) > 0 ? YAML.load_file(@mtime_file) : {}

This is not the last file in the cache.
