I'm trying to use 'cache' in .gitlab-ci.yml (http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html#cache). My gitlab version is 8.2.1 and my Runner is:
$ docker exec -it gitlab-runner gitlab-runner -v gitlab-runner version 0.7.2 (998cf5d) So according to the doc, everything is up to date, but I'm unable to use the cache ;-(. All my files are always deleted. Am I doing something wrong?
A cache archive is created, but not passed to the next jobs.
$ cat .gitlab-ci.yml stages: - createcache - testcache createcache: type: createcache cache: untracked: true paths: - doc/ script: - touch doc/cache.txt testcache: type: testcache cache: untracked: true paths: - doc/ script: - find . - ls doc/cache.txt Running on runner-141d90d4-project-2-concurrent-0 via 849d416b5994... Fetching changes... HEAD is now at 2ffbadb MUST BE REVERTED [...] $ touch doc/cache.txt [...] Archiving cache... INFO[0000] Creating archive cache.tgz ... INFO[0000] Done! Build succeeded. Running on runner-141d90d4-project-2-concurrent-0 via 849d416b5994... Fetching changes... Removing doc/cache.txt [...] $ ls doc/cache.txt ls: cannot access doc/cache.txt: No such file or directory ERROR: Build failed with: exit code 1 My workaround is to manually untar what's in the /cache directory ... I'm pretty sure that's not the correct way to use cache ...
$ cat .gitlab-ci.yml stages: - build - test - deploy image: ubuntu:latest before_script: - export CACHE_FILE=`echo ${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/createcache/${CI_BUILD_REF_NAME}/cache.tgz | sed -e "s|/builds|/cache|"` createcache: type: build cache: untracked: true paths: - doc/ script: - find . | grep -v ".git" - mkdir -p doc - touch doc/cache.txt testcache: type: test script: - env - find . | grep -v ".git" - tar xvzf ${CACHE_FILE} - ls doc/cache.txt

A cache is one or more files a job downloads and saves. Subsequent jobs that use the same cache don't have to download the files again, so they execute more quickly. To learn how to define the cache in your . gitlab-ci. yml file, see the cache reference.
By default, they are stored locally in the machine where the Runner is installed and depends on the type of the executor. Locally, stored under the gitlab-runner user's home directory: /home/gitlab-runner/cache/<user>/<project>/<cache-key>/cache. zip .
gitlab-ci. yml file to your repository, GitLab detects it and an application called GitLab Runner runs the scripts defined in the jobs. In this example, the build-code-job job in the build stage runs first. It outputs the Ruby version the job is using, then runs rake to build project files.
You can find the config. toml file in: /etc/gitlab-runner/ on *nix systems when GitLab Runner is executed as root (this is also the path for service configuration)
