I'm currently attempting to use the commands
feature available in CircleCI version 2.1, so that I can reuse some common commands. I'm testing using the CLI command:
circleci config process ./.circleci/config.latest.yaml > ./.circleci/config.yml
But I recieve the following error:
Error: Error calling workflow: 'main'
Error calling job: 'build'
Error calling command: 'build_source'
Cannot find a definition for command named restore-cache
It seems that restore-cache
works just fine in a straight-up version 2 config file, but when I try and process a 2.1 file using process
it kicks up a fuss.
Below is an edited version of my config.yaml
file which should hopefully be of some use. Please let me know if there is any additional information that would be useful.
version: 2.1
defaults: &defaults
/**
* Unimportant stuff
*/
aliases:
- &restore-root-cache
keys:
- v1-deps-{{ .Branch }}-{{ checksum "package.json" }}
- v1-deps-{{ .Branch }}
- v1-deps
commands:
build_source:
description: 'Installs dependencies, then builds src, builds documentation, and runs tests'
steps:
- restore-cache: *restore-root-cache
- other-commands...
jobs:
build:
<<: *defaults
steps:
- checkout
- build_source
workflows:
version: 2.1
main:
jobs:
- build:
filters:
branches:
ignore: develop
The command is restore_cache
(with an underscore), not restore-cache
(with a dash) https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/configuration-reference/#restore_cache
It should work in commands.
