Warning
This action is still semi-experimental.
This action will download and install the latest version of uv using the official installer and handle its package cache for you.
jobs:
tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest # or macOS, or Windows
steps:
- uses: hynek/setup-cached-uv@v1
- run: uv ...Caution
It’s important to understand that once a cache of a certain name has been created, it will be used in all subsequent jobs within the same workflow and will not be updated.
This means that if you create the cache in the first job that installs only, say, build and twine, and later load the cache again and install more packages, those packages will not be cached for the next run.
To work around this, setup-cached-uv allows you to add two types of suffixes as inputs to the cache name. This way you can have multiple caches per workflow that contain different sets of packages.
Note that the operating system of the runner is automatically added to the cache name – meaning, without adding suffixes, the names of the caches are uv-Linux, uv-macOS, and uv-Windows.
A static string to append to the cache name. This could, for example, be the name of the job.
A path to a file whose contents is hashed and appended to the cache name.
May contain glob-style patterns and match more than one file.
Internally, the GitHub Actions function hashFiles is used to hash the passed path.
Check out our CI to see both inputs in action.
