If the cache path is the same but the project path is different, the cache does not take effect

[zhouzhi-zz]

As described in the title, I currently have the same project in multiple file directories, I set cacheDirectory as the absolute path of a disk, but I can only enter the project after starting the service again to enjoy the cache, and the cache cannot take effect in other folders that have not been started. How can I make the project in multiple directories share this cache

cache: {
    type: 'filesystem',
    allowCollectingMemory: true,
    cacheDirectory: resolve('/data/gitlab-runner'),
    store: 'pack',
    memoryCacheUnaffected: true,
    name: 'prod',
    version: '1.0',   
    buildDependencies: {
        config: [__filename],
    },
},

Avoid using name if you don't know why you use this option

Look how we set the name - https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/main/lib/config/defaults.js#L400

I don't think it matters that I set the name, because I could have left the name field unconfigured. My current request is that I start multiple projects using the same cache. These projects are distributed under different directory folders.

Sorry you can't do it, many things are absolute in cache, we have an issue about it, but still under dicussion

Ok, thank you for your reply. I am looking forward to having this function.
