The issue

This repo demonstrates an issue related to actions/cache and binary files produced from C++ compilation. It seems that actions/cache is not able to restore some build artifacts in such a way that they can be reused from the second build.

Repro steps

1. Build nodejs. The compilation produces out folder
2. Cache whole nodejs source along with out folder
3. Run second build

• Actual: An error is thrown - /bin/sh: /Users/runner/work/cache-actions-issue/cache-actions-issue/nodejs/out/Release/mksnapshot: cannot execute binary file make[1]: *** [ffb81844d4b5e90f0e9727f409709bbedd426bc1.intermediate] Error 126. More info can be found here.
• Expected: Green build that reuses cached nojes binaries

How to run the project ?

1. Go to Actions tab
2. Run nodejs-ci workflow
