Hi all,
I'm setting up a CircleCI config for my project. Right now I'm trying to
cache dependencies before running builds. This way I can run "dub build
--nodeps" immediately after the packages are cached to avoid extra
network calls and speed it up.
I'm wondering if there's a way to isolate the part that downloads and
caches all of the dependencies in dub.json without running the build.
Right now I have to run the build twice. First one, for the sake of
downloading the dependencies and later for running if the cache exists.
Having the build run the first time takes up a lot of time. I'm going
for the "npm install" type of effect.
The reason the cache needs to be rebuilt each time is because CircleCI
runs docker images. Once the deployment is finished, the image fs is
destroyed so there's no way to hold onto the cache for future builds.
You should be able to do this by using ``dub describe`` and ``dub
fetch`` with a simple script.
But a reasonable feature request to make it default for fetch command.
