Jonathan Keane created ARROW-12826: -------------------------------------- Summary: [R] [CI] Add caching to revdepchecks Key: ARROW-12826 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12826 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: Continuous Integration, R Reporter: Jonathan Keane
With ARROW-12569 we added a (manual) reverse dependency check job. This runs fine (if slow) for a one-off run. It should be possible to cache between runs. There are a few issues with this currently: * {revdepcheck} does not (yet) [support only running new runs|https://github.com/r-lib/revdepcheck/issues/94] * The cache doesn't cache some of the longest running tasks (installing the reverse dependencies) * If we cache the revdeps directory, we will need to re-add packages that should be re-checked. We should investigate contributing to revdepcheck to resolve the run-only-new and possibly also add features for cacheing the installations (and only change when the crancache is invalidated / finds a new package?) https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/revdepcheck.extras might also be helpful For posterity, the following is ~what we would need to add to dev/tasks/r/github.linux.revdepcheck.yml ``` - name: Cache crancache and revdeps directory uses: actions/cache@v2 with: key: {{ "r-revdep-cache-${{ some-way-to-get-arrow-version }}" }} path: | arrow/r/revdep arrow/.crancache ``` -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
