/root/.gradle is 5.4gb in the build cache

Question & Answer
1

Our build cache for /root/.gradle is 5.4gb and adds 3+ minutes for the cache pull and the cache push step. What is the recommended action here? Should we add !/root/.gradle to our ignored paths?

Our build artifacts are only ~130mb.

I tried adding all combinations of !/root/.gradle/, !/bitrise/src/Android/gradle.deps, !Android/gradle.deps and it is still caching /root/.gradle. Why is that?

Hey!

We are aware couple of related issues with the cache steps. We are working on fixing these issues. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi @gpeal8 thanks for the report,
we released a new version (2.1.0) of Cache Push step, which fixes this issue.
Please update the step version to 2.1.0.
