Expected behavior

Use previous cache and carry on with the Yarn install

@Naturalclar I see you recently touched this in #59. On what type of runner were you experiencing the problems (mac/linux)?. Any idea what can be wrong? I'm also seeing this, on a mac runner. Thanks.

[azizhk]

Started getting this error as well.
Orb version: 4.4.2

[mtt87]

Confirm it's happening on 4.4.2 only on Mac environment for me

[mtt87]

Some more info, in my case it says

Found a cache from build 559 at yarn-cache-arch1-darwin-amd64-6_58-...

But I'm now at build 592, is there a way to say if restoring the cache goes wrong then ignore it and install everything from scratch?

[mtt87]

After reading this
https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015426888-Clear-project-dependency-cache
I set an environment variable CACHE_VERSION with value v2 and it seems like it solved the issue.

[chrisbruford]

@mtt87 when you first set it, you have changed the comparitor and so it won't be able to find a valid cache to use...thus it creates a new one and everything works.

I found that on the next attempt to build it will use your value v2 and find a matching cache, try to unarchive it and you'll get the same error as before.

[mtt87]

Damn, that's a good point I'll try again soon to verify if it still happening.

Have you tried to downgrade to 3.2.2 to see if it works?

[chrisbruford]

Yes - we downgraded and await a fix to this

[MateusAndrade]

Facing the same issue on xcode: 11.5.0 orb 4.4.2, solved running a simple yarn install --frozen-lockfile --non-interactive since I don't need to cache this folder at a specific step.

Seeing this issue as well with 4.4.2

Facing the same issue here: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/react-native-community/react-native-viewpager/296/workflows/f47a2400-fc43-4aec-aedd-a3cafb80ed3e/jobs/972

in this PR: callstack/react-native-pager-view#201

[mtt87]

Latest working version for me it's 4.2.2 FYI in case you wanna downgrade

[troZee]

The same for 4.2.2 https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/react-native-community/react-native-viewpager/302/workflows/f9554c1e-5dd8-4f27-ac8c-9745aae7e63c/jobs/993

Android works fine, but iOS does not work.
