name: Cache Service Probe # Temporary diagnostic for #178, to be deleted once it has answered its # question. actions/cache refuses to run here, printing its GHES warning, on # both v3 and v4. Two explanations remain and they need different fixes: # # 1. Cache is off in act_runner's config, so no ACTIONS_CACHE_URL is exported # and the runner has nothing to point a patched bundle at. Fix is # cache.enabled in config.yaml. # 2. Cache is served, but the runner's bundle patcher does not recognise # these bundles and so leaves the GHES gate shut. That is a runner bug # worth reporting upstream. # # An exported cache URL tells the two apart. on: pull_request: workflow_dispatch: jobs: probe: name: Cache Service Probe runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: # Values for the URLs, which are plain endpoints, and presence only for # the tokens, which are credentials and must not reach the log. - name: Report cache-related environment run: | echo "GITHUB_SERVER_URL = ${GITHUB_SERVER_URL:-}" echo "ACTIONS_CACHE_URL = ${ACTIONS_CACHE_URL:-}" echo "ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL = ${ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL:-}" echo "ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2 = ${ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2:-}" for t in ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN ACTIONS_CACHE_TOKEN GITHUB_TOKEN; do if [ -n "${!t:-}" ]; then echo "$t: set"; else echo "$t: unset"; fi done # Names only, never values — catches any endpoint variable the runner # exports under a name this probe did not think to ask for. - name: List ACTIONS_/GITHUB_ variable names run: env | grep -E '^(ACTIONS_|GITHUB_)' | sed 's/=.*//' | sort # Run the real thing alongside, so the warning and the environment that # produced it sit in one log. - name: Try actions/cache uses: actions/cache@v4 with: path: /tmp/cache-probe key: cache-probe-${{ github.run_id }} - name: Runner and version context run: | echo "runner.arch = ${{ runner.arch }}" echo "runner.os = ${{ runner.os }}" # The first probe showed ACTIONS_CACHE_URL unset but ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL set, # i.e. the runner serves the v2 cache service and not v1. actions/cache v4.3 # can speak v2, but only when ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2 is set, and it is not. # These three variants test the ways round that. variant-v4-flag: name: cache@v4 + ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2 runs-on: ubuntu-latest env: ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2: "true" steps: - run: mkdir -p /tmp/probe && head -c 1048576 /dev/urandom > /tmp/probe/blob - uses: actions/cache@v4 with: path: /tmp/probe key: probe-v4flag-${{ github.run_id }} variant-v6: name: cache@v6 runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: mkdir -p /tmp/probe && head -c 1048576 /dev/urandom > /tmp/probe/blob - uses: actions/cache@v6 with: path: /tmp/probe key: probe-v6-${{ github.run_id }} variant-v6-flag: name: cache@v6 + ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2 runs-on: ubuntu-latest env: ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2: "true" steps: - run: mkdir -p /tmp/probe && head -c 1048576 /dev/urandom > /tmp/probe/blob - uses: actions/cache@v6 with: path: /tmp/probe key: probe-v6flag-${{ github.run_id }}
