Not working tool-cache about toolkit HOT 5 CLOSED

I see.
I was expecting something similar to circleci's cashe, but it was a misunderstanding.
This has already been reported(#47).

I look forward to the cache function, thank you for the wonderful product.

Could you share your workflow? To be clear, was it not cached for a later step or for a different job.

We don't cache tools between jobs because jobs are run in clean environments (and possibly different machines).

I have a dedicated repository.

https://github.com/8398a7/cache-poc/blob/master/.github/workflows/poc.yml

The first time I forgot to enable debug logging.

This is the second run.

Ok, so I think this is working as expected. The tool cache isn't preserved between runs for the same reasons mentioned above - since we're just grabbing a machine from a hosted cloud pool and returning it when we're done there's not a way to persist state between runs. If you tried something like:

name: poc
on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Setup node
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: 10.15.0
    - name: Setup node
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: 10.15.0

you should see that it is cached for the second run.

Is it common to have the same action several times as different steps in the same job ? I have never seen it before, and I found it quite surprising that the cache is not repopulated when a job is created. Is support for caching between jobs planned ? It could really help speed up builds.
