We just upgraded from yarn 1 to yarn 3

Does this mean we don't get the caching benefits of the package installer, given docs only say it supports yarn 1?

This is something we were discussing last week. We currently are using the default yarn config, which is to do global caching. With the default yarn 3 setup, we are seeing the fetch and link step doing a lot of work. I don't think all of our stuff can be cached with yarn's capabilities, because some of our packages require machine/architecture dependencies to build. I assume then caching would need to be solved by the build machine.

You can see the fetch and link step below, when doing back-to-back builds of the same commit. These should essentially be noop with build caching.

Specifically, I think .yarn/cache.yarn/cache needs to be cached for the "Fetch step" and .yarn/install-state.gz.yarn/install-state.gz needs to be cached for the "Link step".

Hi, is there any plan to extend the build caching to nuxt3 as well?
Or is there a way to hack around it and use those predefined folders for caching?

Georges

Georges•10/3/23, 9:02 AM

I was wondering if you would consider adding the .jampack/cache.jampack/cache used by jampack. A user has been asking for it https://github.com/divriots/jampack/issues/106

Georges

G

Georges•10/3/23, 9:04 AM

If jampackjampack is too small for you to consider it, could you add a generic folder like ".build_cache"".build_cache" or something so projects don't need to highjack existing folders to work around it?

If you're using v2 build image (system), it should just be an option in the UI: https://i.james.pub/file/2023/10/6dbcb864-d5f0-4f77-b03a-ad7b1ffe1a3f.png

Is there a way to customize the cached paths?
We have Next.js under a sub-directory, so .next/cache.next/cache doesn't work. We don't want to update the root directory option (since we have functionsfunctions and

/Next.js as top-level directories in our repo)

Turning on build cache makes the build fail with Error: Output directory "build" not found.Error: Output directory "build" not found.

is there something I can do to avoid this?

And if you turn cache off and try the same build again, it works?

Cross-posting from next-on-pages: interesting suggestion around possibly having some sort of config file to configure caching behavior or what folders are cached? https://canary.discord.com/channels/595317990191398933/1135899572141568050/1159189844069715998

Configurable cache directories is definitely something on our mind. We actually had them at the beginning but took them out because we wanted to be extra sure/deliberate about how we were exposing that config to users. Expect configurable cache in the future

Erisa

EErisa And if you turn cache off and try the same build again, it works?

groenroos

G

groenroos•10/9/23, 12:24 PM

Correct - also the fail only happened on the second build after turning it on, and then consistently after that until turning it off

Flare•10/9/23, 12:24 PM

The Pages deployment ID is a unique build identifier.
It's the UUID in the browser bar (for example, a URL would be

dash.cloudflare.com/ACCOUNT_ID/pages/view/PROJECT/DEPLOYMENT_ID

dash.cloudflare.com/ACCOUNT_ID/pages/view/PROJECT/DEPLOYMENT_ID

where the deployment ID looks something like a398d794-7322-4c97-96d9-40b5140a8d9b).
This ID can help troubleshoot some issues with Pages builds so if you have a failing build make sure you grab that ID for the Pages team to use.

Erisa

E

Erisa•10/9/23, 12:25 PM

Do you have deployment IDs for those?

Piotr•10/29/23, 5:00 PM

I've enabled the cache and it seems to be working for my 11ty site. Still have to disable one addPassthroughCopyaddPassthroughCopy for a small thumbnail folder. Unsure if it will work as I think it will so would be nice to get some clarification.

Right now I have original article images in git with the project and 11ty generates optimized AVIF/WebP out of them that then are displayed. For now, I stored them in git as well and just copied the folder to _site/_site/ output-dir during the build process so the build never generated thumbnails.

What I want to do is to stop storing thumbnails in git and just generate them directly to the _site/ folder - so using the existing cache during deployment should generate only missing thumbnails, not all of them. Will it work like that? (is the _site_site folder fully cached?)

Also if the cache would be lost the deployment could get screwed as generating all thumbnails from scratch does take quite a while. In such a case, it would be nice to recreate it from a deployed version or something similar.
