@worried-painter-31382 For the tests that are run in here: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/501d53783cc023e3cfdc0343494c0e39b82ee58c/src/python/pants/backend/javascript/subsystems/nodejs_tool_test.py Are the resolves/installs cached inside of Pants cached folders, or external?

The former, its intended to be ~same as the python backend.

👍 In one of the other threads, I setup a single-core run of all of our tests - and a few hit the timeout, but I found that on my machine, a single-core run can't finish this nodejs test

src/python/pants/backend/javascript/subsystems/nodejs_tool_test.py

2-cores can finish it pretty well. I was wondering if caching the input downloads to remove networking from the tests might make it faster and more reliable
