Updating actions/cache@v3 to v4 to run on node20

[devlsat]

The following actions uses Node.js version which is deprecated and will be forced to run on node20: actions/cache@v3. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/

actions/cache@v3 runs on node16 which is deprecated, requesting to migrate to v4

@devlsat This action is a shell action and fundamentally does not use node js. However, note that Amazon linux 2 has problems running node 20 because of its dependency with old GLIBC version.

If you are facing issues in running, kindly consider this option

ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION: true

Okay thanks for the update
So, doing #15 this won't help?
Since

[kishaningithub]

You are right.. this might help..

Looking into why the CI did not get triggered for your PR.

Closing the issue

Reopening this issue to keep track of making this action node version agnostic

[kishaningithub]

@devlsat This Concern of referencing old node version is now fixed with the latest release. If you run trigger a new job you should see it disappear. As a big performance bonus, the python installation time should go from ~1 minute to ~25 seconds .

Give it a spin and let know your feedback :-)

Facing this issue with the latest version

Was working fine with v1.0.8

[kishaningithub]

@devlsat Interestingly v1.0.8 also has references to the $HOME variable.. Thinking about potential root causes... you have any thoughts?

setup-python-amazon-linux/action.yml

Line 33 in 976096e

echo "installation_directory=${HOME}/.setup-python-amazon-linux/.python-versions/${exact_python_version}" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

[kishaningithub]

@devlsat Have released a possible fix for this in the latest release (v1.0.12).. Can you try running it with either v1.0.12 tag or v1 tag?

[devlsat]

Nope
Same error, but got a description this time

[kishaningithub]

@devlsat If you login to the self hosted runner and run echo "$HOME" does it fail or succeed?

[devlsat]

Blank empty output

[kishaningithub]

@devlsat Is this action directly running in the EC2 runner machine or within a Docker container runner?
