Currently if we update the Bazel
WORKSPACE
and some external repositories have changed, CircleCI won't be able to cache the bazel repositories because the cache-key has not changed and saving will be skipped. We should make sure that the Bazel repositories will be cached properly because otherwise this can cause a significant slow-down with Bazel managed deps.Additionally we no longer store the cache based on the current
branch
because that means that caching does not always work for pull requests. Since the caching only depends on two inputs (yarn.lock and WORKSPACE), it's safe to just remove the branch from the cache key.
