**Caching in multirepos**
`cache-dependency-path` input assepts glob patterns and multi-line values:
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: '1.17'
cache-dependency-path: **/go.sum
- run: go run hello.go

with:
go-version: '1.17'
cache-dependency-path: |
subdir1/go.sum
subdir2/go.mod
- run: go run hello.go
```
## Multi-target builds
`cache-dependency-path` input used to generate unuque cache key and it is not limited to only
dependencies files. The common case is to add a file containing the extr info about the specific
build, for example build target.
```yaml
env:
GOOS: ...
GOARCH: ...
steps:
- run: echo "$GOOS $GOARCH"> /tmp/env
- uses: actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: '1.17'
cache-dependency-path: go.sum /tmp/env
- run: go run hello.go
```
## Invalidate cache when source code changes
Besides the dependencise the action caches the build outputs
([GOCACHE](https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Build_and_test_caching) directory) but by default this
cache is not update in order to avoid unpredictable and frequent cache invaldation. Nevertheless
including the source code files into `cache-dependency-path` input.
```yaml
- uses: actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: '1.17'
cache-dependency-path: go.sum **/*.go
- run: go run hello.go
```
But more practically to manage the cache with the text file manually updated according to the amount
of changes made in the repo.
```yaml
- uses: actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: '1.17'
cache-dependency-path: go.sum cache-version.txt
- run: go run hello.go
```
## Caching with actions/cache
The caching capabilities of the action are limited for the simplest builds and can be ineffective in the real world
use cases. If the build requires fine-grained turning the built-in caching should be disabled and
[actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) should be used.
Here the sample `actions/cache` configuration with the extending options allowing
- configuring paths to cache
- have different caches for rare changes dependencies and more often changed intermediate build files
- use `restore-key` input to restore the previous cache even if the current key cache has changed
- have different caches intermediate build files of different architectures
- have custom cache key for parallel builds
```yaml
build:
env:
GOOS: ...
GOARCH: ...
steps:
- uses: actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: "1.17"
cache: false
- name: Get Go cached paths
run: |
echo "cache=$(go env GOCACHE)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo "modcache=$(go env GOMODCACHE)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
- name: Set up dependencies cache
uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: |
${{ env.cache }}
key: setup-go-deps-${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('go.sum go.mod') }}
restore-keys: |
setup-go-deps-${{ runner.os }}-go-
- name:
run: echo "$GOOS $GOARCH"> /tmp/env
- name: Set up intermediate built files cache
uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: |
${{ env.modcache }}
key: setup-go-build-${{ env.GOOS }}-${{ env.GOARCH }}-${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('**/*.go /tmp/env') }}
restore-keys: |
setup-go-build-${{ env.GOOS }}-${{ env.GOARCH }}
```
## Restore-only caches
If there are several builds on the same repo it might make sense to create a cache in one build and use it in the
others. The action [actions/cache/restore](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/cache-restore)
should be used in this case.
## Generate different caches
This advanced use case assumes manual definition of cache key and requires the use of
[actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md#go---modules)
## Parallel builds
To avoid race conditions during the parallel builds they should either
[generate their own caches](#generate-different-caches), or create the cache
for only one build and [restore](#restore-only-caches) that cache in the other builds.
## Getting go version from the go.mod file
The `go-version-file` input accepts a path to a `go.mod` file or a `go.work` file that contains the version of Go to be
