GitLab CI and the like provide a way to configure which directories are treated as cache, so that they will be restored before build and saved after build, in order to make consecutive jobs/pipelines more efficient. As per the documentation, it seems some directories are worth saving/restoring:
$GRADLE_USER_HOME/caches
: Global cache directory (for everything that is not project-specific).$GRADLE_USER_HOME/jdks
: JDKs downloaded by the toolchain support.$GRADLE_USER_HOME/wrapper/dists
: Distributions downloaded by the Gradle Wrapper.
How about other directories within $GRADLE_USER_HOME
and {PROJECT_ROOT_DIR}/.gradle
and all build
s within {PROJECT_ROOT_DIR}
? What directories are recommended to save/restore in CI?
