Question

Hello there I am trying to do remote caching only to accelerate my pipeline I am trying to integrate with Buildbuddy and no matter what I try Pants doesn t even try to do a request to the remote grpcs host My `pants toml` looks like this ``` GLOBAL pants version = 2 15 0 backend packages = pants backend docker pants backend python pants backend python lint flake8 remote cache read = true remote cache write = true remote store address = <grpcs remote buildbuddy io> remote store headers = x buildbuddy api key lt token gt remote instance name = main remote store chunk upload timeout seconds = 3600``` When I add the keys for the `remote execution` I see errors and stuff that actually trying to do something with the remote host but for caching only nothing is happening even if I put a random `remote store address`

if you pass ` stats log` do you see metrics that indicate that cache reads writes are happening

but also note that the local cache will generally be used first if it can be so try with ` no local cache` to make it a bit clearer what is happening
