Support cache dependencies for cases where package lock files are located in subfolders

See original GitHub issue

Hi! 👋

We have a mixed-language monorepo with nothing in the base folder except some CI info. We need to be able to specify working-directory input like other scripts in order to use this fantastic action to build our node subfolders.

Something like:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
  with:
    node-version: '14'
    working-directory: some-client

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

This feature request will be implemented soon. I have a small ADR under review https://github.com/actions/setup-node/pull/299 . Proposed approach is a bit different from proposed in this issue - we would like allow specifying full path (directory path + filename) to lock file instead of working_directory (directory path only). We believe this approach will be a bit more generic and unblock more use-cases.
