Dagger cache in python or node sdk with dagger github action.

[junior fossil]

Hi,

I would like to know if this feature is available in that sdks, I tried this but the cache does not work. I did the same for the cue sdk and it works.

on:
  workflow_dispatch: 

jobs:
  dagger:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      DAGGER_CACHE_FROM: type=gha,scope=dagger-cache-example
      DAGGER_CACHE_TO: type=gha,mode=max,scope=dagger-cache-example
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
     
      - name: "Run Dagger"
        uses: dagger/dagger-for-github@v3
        with:
          install-only: true
     
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.10' 
      
      - name: Pip install
        run: |
          pip install anyio
          pip install dagger-io
          pip install python-dotenv
          
      - name: Run dagger script
        run: python simple-dagger.py
          
        ```

Is it possible to do it with python or node? Thanks in advance

It would be nice to have that feature, because we would like to use the github cache to save time in large projects . It takes several minutes to pass the CI checks when we are pushing changes to a PR. Github runs each push in a new runner, so with that cache we would be x1000 faster.

there is an experiment action in the master branch. It isn't available publically.

you can see it used in my github action: https://github.com/kjuulh/dagger-rs/blob/88b055cb47d3d474e2c37d8fa8259df5faad9da5/.github/workflows/ci.yaml#L11

that said. You will the master build of the dagger go sdk to use it. As far as I can tell 😄

Yes it's highly experimental right now, far from finished, hence being hidden behind that env var and not being documented 🙂 We're actively working on it though so improvements will be coming soon in upcoming releases

Thank you for the info! @orchid knot @silver marsh Sounds good that you are working on it, I think it is something that will be highly demanded. I will be on the ball.

Hi! I'm exploring Node.js Dagger SDK for our JavaScript based monorepo. I have built some scripts and ran them locally, the cache works amazing! Are there any updates on how to use remove cache in Github Actions?

I tried using the _EXPERIMENTAL_DAGGER_CACHE_CONFIG: type=gha;mode=max but didn't seem to work. If gha is not ready because it's experimental even for docker buildx. I wonder if other types like s3 or registry are supported?

@tired drum seems like @silver marsh is using it here? #1078344535756787792 message
