Caching packages dependencies in composite actions

[sergei-startsev]

Caching packages dependencies doesn't work in composite actions today. Action composition allows to reduce duplication in workflows and make maintenance easier, however setup-node with cache option doesn't support them – cache is always not found.

runs:
  using: 'composite'
  steps:
    - name: Use Node.js
      uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: '14'
        cache: yarn

/usr/local/bin/yarn --version
1.22.11
/usr/local/bin/yarn cache dir
/home/runner/.cache/yarn/v6
yarn cache is not found

Hello @sergei-startsev, just gentle ping.

Hello @sergei-startsev. I've tried to reproduce you issue, but it looks like everything works as expected. I want to note that the setup-node action does not provide restore-key, that is why possibly the cache is not found.

For now I'm closing the issue. If you have any concerns feel free to ping us.
