Caching is not working

[timothyjward]

Description:
Caching is not working

Task version:
99b8673

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Repro steps:
Run a normal maven build

Expected behavior:
Maven caches should be restored within 10-30 seconds

Actual behavior:

Sometimes the cache fails with a timeout after 5 minutes, sometimes it fails more quickly with a 500 error. This may be related to the fact that setup-java is using an old version of the setup-cache action and their backend has moved to v2. The minimum version of setup-cache now seems to be 4.2.0.

Hello @timothyjward,
Thank you for creating this issue. We will investigate it and get back to you as soon as we have some feedback.

Hi @timothyjward,
It looks like you're using an older commit of actions/setup-java, which relies on an outdated version of actions/cache. Please update your workflow to use the latest version: actions/setup-java@v4.
We've tested with the latest version and are not seeing any caching issues. Updating should resolve the errors and restore expected cache performance.
Let us know if you still have problems after upgrading!
