Description

On load

::warning::Failed to restore: getCacheEntry failed: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND [2001:bc8:1d90:1fc1:dc00:ff:fe2b:3f97]

On save

::warning::Failed to save: reserveCache failed: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND [2001:bc8:1d90:1fc1:dc00:ff:fe2b:3f97]

This looks very much like something somewhere is treating IPv6 addresses as domain names?

Edit: the root cause is in https://github.com/actions/toolkit, I put a fix up at https://github.com/actions/toolkit/pull/2298

Research direction

The issue reports IPv6 cache-server failures during both restore and save, but names no file or test in this repository. Start by reviewing the reported root cause in actions/toolkit and pull request #2298; done means cache restore and save work with the shown IPv6 address.
