caching a folder on ubuntu and restore it on macos doesn't work
See original GitHub issuewhen you try to cache a folder between two different jobs which are on a different operating system runner, it seems like the caching mechanism doesn’t work.
i am using this pipeline to reproduce the issue:
name: Build Unity TestProject
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
buildAndTestForSomePlatforms:
name: Build for ${{ matrix.targetPlatform }}
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
unityVersion:
- 2020.3.25f1
targetPlatform:
- Android
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
lfs: true
- run: mkdir build && mkdir build/Android && touch build/Android/Android.apk
- name: cache build folder
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: build/${{ matrix.targetPlatform }}
key: build-${{ matrix.targetPlatform }}-${{ github.run_id }}
- run: ls build
testOnAndroidEmulator:
name: execute tests
needs: buildAndTestForSomePlatforms
runs-on: macos-latest
steps:
- name: restore 'Android' build folder
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: build/Android
key: build-Android-${{ github.run_id }}
- run: ls

@vsvipul - YES! installing zstd in linux-latest runner solved the issue for me:
sudo apt install zstd
maybe it would be best to document that sceario? when a user wants to cache from linux to mac he should install zstd in the linux machine.
@megetron zstd should have been installed by default when you used the action. I’m not sure why that was not done in this case. Added this to our backlog. We will look into how we can fix this. Thank you for opening this.
