Error: getCacheEntry failed: Cache service responded with 500 in new workflow

Description:
setup-node fails with an error

Run actions/setup-node@v2
  with:
    node-version: 16
    cache: pnpm
    cache-dependency-path: **/pnpm-lock.yaml
    always-auth: false
    check-latest: false
    token: ***
Found in cache @ /opt/hostedtoolcache/node/16.13.0/x64
/opt/hostedtoolcache/node/16.13.0/x64/bin/pnpm store path
/home/runner/.pnpm-store/v3
Error: getCacheEntry failed: Cache service responded with 500

Action version:
setup-node@v2

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:
node 14 + 16
pnpm 6.23

Repro steps:
Workflow here https://github.com/svitejs/vite-plugin-env-config/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

It uses setup-node twice:

• first to get npm and run npm i -g pnpm (instead of using pnpms custom action)
  https://github.com/svitejs/vite-plugin-env-config/blob/9fc3bbddc0b93583a3f068e5f0b8a6ecc0275a0a/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L27

• second with pnpm cache option set to use automatic caching
  https://github.com/svitejs/vite-plugin-env-config/blob/9fc3bbddc0b93583a3f068e5f0b8a6ecc0275a0a/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L31

Expected behavior:

setup succeeds

Actual behavior:
setup fails
log shows a 500 error for cache service
https://github.com/svitejs/vite-plugin-env-config/runs/4494014103?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:12

Additional information

• The repo is very new and cloned from a template. other repos with a similar setup don't show this behavior
• These are the initial workflow runs, there hasn't been a success. Maybe some initializaion failed?

seems to be related to actions/cache#698

I am also seeing similar behaviour in my workflows...

Had a similar issue yesterday with the setup-python action, tried again today and it is working fine. It seems like it was a temporary issue. I check GitHub status page and couldn't find any incident related to that though. The only one I found was this: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/tc051c121cs7

But it is not related.

[dominikg]

workaround is to simply disable cache parameters by commenting them. Will download more dependencies but no more errors)

[dominikg]

upstream issue discussion hints that this may be fixed now

actions/cache#698 (comment)

still setup-node may want to think about how to handle caching related errors.

Can confirm that it's fixed now.
