In commit 6957fd98dc ("gitlab: add avocado asset caching") we tried to save the Avocado cache (as in commit c1073e44b4 with Travis-CI) however it doesn't work as expected. For some reason Avocado uses /root/avocado_cache/ which we can not select later.
Manually generate a Avocado config to force the use of the current directory. We add a new 'build-acceptance-cache' job that runs first, (during the 'build' stage) to create/update the cache. The cache content is then pulled (but not updated) during the 'test' stage. See: - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/caching/ - https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/chapters/writing.html#fetching-asset-files Reported-by: Thomas Huth <th...@redhat.com> Fixes: 6957fd98dc ("gitlab: add avocado asset caching") Signed-off-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> --- Since v1: - add a specific 'build-acceptance-cache' job Thomas prefers to use a different cache for each job. Since I had this patch ready, I prefer to post it as v2 and will work on a v3 using Thomas suggestion.
