Github actions caching for Node.js application is not working

Question

I'm working on configuration of CI/CD in github and faced a problem with caching of dependencies.

My github actions lint config for my Node.js app attached.

As you can see I have additional step called build which is used to cache dependencies using actions/cache@v2. Then on eslint and Prettier steps I extract cached data using restore-keys. The script fails on eslint step with error:

sh: 1: eslint: not found

I have eslint is my devDependencies section in package.json.

name: test

on: [push]

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: node:14.17.0-stretch-slim
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Cache dependencies
        uses: actions/cache@v2
        with:
          path: ~/.npm
          key: ${{ runner.OS }}-cache-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.OS }}-cache-
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci --ignore-scripts
  eslint:
    needs: build
    name: ESLint

Answer 1

The problem was that I didn't run dependencies installation on eslint and prettier steps. It still needs to be done to create node_modules.
