This release introduces dependency caching support (#266)
Caching dependencies.
The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring pip/pipenv dependencies. The cache input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
Besides, this release introduces dependency caching support for mono repos and repositories with complex structure.
By default, the action searches for the dependency file (requirements.txt for pip or Pipfile.lock for pipenv) in the whole repository. Use the cache-dependency-path input for cases when you want to override current behaviour and use different file for hash generation (for example requirements-dev.txt). This input supports wildcards or a list of file names for caching multiple dependencies.
Caching pip dependencies:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: '3.9'
cache: 'pip'
- run: pip install -r requirements.txt
- run: pip test
Caching pipenv dependencies:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Install pipenv
run: pipx install pipenv
- uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: '3.9'
cache: 'pipenv'
- run: pipenv install
- run: pipenv test
Change dependency file:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: '3.9'
cache: 'pip'
cache-dependency-path: '**/requirements-dev.txt'
- run: pip install -r subdirectory/requirements-dev.txt
- run: pip test
