Cache downloads

[halvardssm]

Hi! I want to use this package in a pipeline, and I see that it is downloading the binary in the beginning. Is there a way to set download location using an env variable, in the hopes of caching the binary?

Thank you for collaborating with the project by giving us feedback!

Hi @halvardssm

Do you mean npm cache? By default it cache inside ${HOME}/.npm maybe you can't cache this directory in your pipeline like occurs in Gitlab. Then, you use run --cache to change the cache folder destination were you want. I recommend to set it in .npm inside your current folder using npm ci --cache .npm. And include this folder into the pipeline cache

Hi @jorgecasar! I am unsure to be honest, when running the script, I am seeing this when successful:

And occasionally this when unsuccessful:

I am assuming this is because the server that it needs to be downloaded from is overloaded, so I was hoping to cache this somewhere. The problem is that I can't find the download path for this download so that I can cache it.

Then I'm not sure what are you talking about. This is a command line to generate code and then you can complete and deploy where you want.

Are you talking about generating process or the resulting server?
