@dabrahams I am looking into the caching breaking for newer Xcode toolchains, meanwhile you can disable caching for now.

[dabrahams]

Oh. If I just delete the old caches will that fix it, or do I actually need to disable them? And how do I disable the cache for this action? I don't see anything in the README

[dabrahams]

Never mind; I see it here.

[soumyamahunt]

Oh. If I just delete the old caches will that fix it, or do I actually need to disable them?

Just deleting will result in immediate workflow to succeed but since it will generate new cache that will fail subsequent workflows.

And how do I disable the cache for this action? I don't see anything in the README

The inputs are documented in action.yml file, and README does mention to go through this file for list of inputs supported. The input name is cache-snapshot.

[dabrahams]

That…
didn't work

Did I do it wrong?

[soumyamahunt]

That… didn't work

Did you try deleting the cache and running the action with cache-snapshot false or without deleting the cache?
I think deleting the cache and running with cache-snapshot false should work.

[dabrahams]

Yes, deleting the caches works, thanks. IMO it's a bug, or at least extremely hard to use, that the cache gets used when cache-snapshot is false, but that's for you to decide.

[soumyamahunt]

@dabrahams can you try reenabling cache-snapshot to true and run your workflow twice (second trigger started once first is completed).

I am no longer able to reproduce this in my CI, now I am under the impression that this might be some issue from GitHub end.

[dabrahams]

I can try; that will take some considerable time FWIW.

I think you can ignore this, the issue seems to only affect macos-13 runner.

[dabrahams]

Well, the jobs are re-running now. In case you're interested: https://github.com/hylo-lang/hylo/actions/runs/10927463998?pr=1597

[dabrahams]

The second run with cache enabled worked. What does that mean?

[soumyamahunt]

The second run with cache enabled worked. What does that mean?

The issue is due to from 5.10.1 macOS toolchain installation caching breaks across machine architecture, i.e action caches created from m series runners fail on intel machine and vice-versa. Next release will fix this issue.

@dabrahams fix has been released: https://github.com/SwiftyLab/setup-swift/releases/tag/v1.8.0
