The unit-tests.yml and all-tests.yml have similar runtimes in GitHub Actions due to a heavy build process. The build process takes a long time because it's fetching Go modules due to running in a clean Linux environment.
This PR reduces Actions CPU time by doing the following:
make buildstep sincego test ./...implicitly does a build.make buildwas just adding unnecessary CPU time (~2min per run).The image below shows how
make buildadds an unnecessary 2 minutes per workflow run.The image below shows caching working (go packages and modules are found from the cache).
Overall the unit test runtime dropped by ~20s and the billable time dropped by 2 minutes (40%).
