Description

Hello All,

We are using actions/cache@v3 actions into our GH actions workflows and once in a while we are seeing the below error

The template is not valid. hashFiles('**/pom.xml') couldn't finish within 120 seconds.

Below is the snippet for the workflow we are using for maven cache

  • name: Cache Maven packages
    uses: actions/cache@v3
    with:
    path: ~/.m2/repository
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-maven-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }}
    restore-keys: |
    ${{ runner.os }}-maven-

Do we have any solution for this issue? Do we need to add any additional parameters to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Ankur

Start with the reported workflow snippet using actions/cache@v3 and hashFiles('**/pom.xml'), then investigate the intermittent 120-second template timeout. A useful outcome would identify a supported resolution or clearly document the conditions and configuration that reproduce the failure.
