Description
Currently npmInstall and npmSetup tasks are not cacheable by gradle build cache, thus when running CI pipelines on different machines those tasks needs to fully run every time which consumes a lot of time.
Please consider making those tasks cacheable. Instructions can be found here:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_cache.html#enable_caching_of_non_cacheable_tasks
