Description:
I'd like to propose a new input to the action to enable skipping cache saves but maintaining the ability to restore an existing cache.
Something like skip-cache-save.
Justification:
We have the case in our CI/CD where we have the following jobs running in parallel:
- Run tests - i.e. runs
go test ./... - Run linting - i.e. run
golangci-lint
Both jobs benefit from Go package caching but in the above scenario, the linting job finishes first and creates a cache that doesn't contain Go test artefacts. It would be useful to only have 1 job create the cache i.e. the job that populates the package cache and the test/build cache.
I imagine this can be handled by using actions/cache, but this addition feels like a simple way of achieving better cache control without dropping to a lower level tool.
Are you willing to submit a PR?
Possibly, if the feature request is relevant.
