Caching build.zig.zon dependencies? #64

Anton-4 commented 2025年12月12日 16:06:50 +01:00

Hi,
We at roc-lang are satisfied users of the setup-zig github action :)
We also regularly hit this issue: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/17472
So we were wondering if dependencies defined in build.zig.zon could be cached as well?
This would be a nice workaround, should be faster, and also avoid unnecessary requests.

Let me know what you think!

I would think it already should? setup-zig points the global and local cache directories to .zig-cache in the workspace directory, and that's the directory that gets cached - at least if you don't set use-cache: false.

Oh interesting, we are using use-cache: true and we still hit the issue. I can investigate this more some time and report back.

Did you have a chance to investigate this in the meantime?

No, not yet, it may be a while before I get to it.
