## Motivation Fix #5433. The CI jobs `wasm-application-test` and `linera-sdk-tests-fixtures` are extremely slow (~13 min and ~6 min respectively), even on subsequent runs, because their subdirectory `target/` directories are not cached between CI runs. The root cause is that `actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1` uses `Swatinem/rust-cache` under the hood, which [defaults to caching only `./target/`](https://github.com/Swatinem/rust-cache/blob/master/README.md). Since these jobs build in `examples/` and `linera-sdk/tests/fixtures/`, their `target/` directories are never persisted. ## Proposal Add the `cache-workspaces` parameter to the `setup-rust-toolchain` action in both jobs, pointing to the correct subdirectory target dirs: - `wasm-application-test`: `examples -> target` - `linera-sdk-tests-fixtures`: `linera-sdk/tests/fixtures -> target` ## Test Plan - The first CI run after merging will still be slow (cold cache). - The second run on the same branch showed around a 25% improvement, it seems ## Release Plan - Nothing to do / These changes follow the usual release cycle.

Motivation
Fix #5433. The CI jobs
wasm-application-testandlinera-sdk-tests-fixturesare extremely slow (~13 min and ~6 min respectively), even on subsequent runs, because their subdirectorytarget/directories are not cached between CI runs.The root cause is that
actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1usesSwatinem/rust-cacheunder the hood, which defaults to caching only./target/. Since these jobs build inexamples/andlinera-sdk/tests/fixtures/, theirtarget/directories are never persisted.Proposal
Add the
cache-workspacesparameter to thesetup-rust-toolchainaction in both jobs, pointing to the correctsubdirectory target dirs:
wasm-application-test:examples -> targetlinera-sdk-tests-fixtures:linera-sdk/tests/fixtures -> targetTest Plan
