Is there. way to change the cache location of pants?

${HOME}/.cache/pants

To another location?

You can use the options named_caches_dir and local_store_dir to control this.

Thanks!

This is what we have for

/etc/profile

on our CI workers..

# Pants installations goes into this tree.
export SCIE_BASE=<%= @cache_root_dir %>/nce

# Stores the results of running subprocesses and of some file operations.
export PANTS_LOCAL_STORE_DIR=<%= @cache_root_dir %>/lmdb_store

# Stores the caches for certain tools used by Pants, like PEX's cache for resolving Python requirements.
export PANTS_NAMED_CACHES_DIR=<%= @cache_root_dir %>/named_caches

Hey @curved-television-6568 I’m curious is the

cache_root_dir

on your CI workers shared between workers? Meaning is it on some network share or local to each CI server?

yea nothing fancy for now, so just local for each.

Roger that. Do you have long-running CI workers then? Otherwise the cache get blown away each time (or on whatever schedule the CI workers cycle) and thus kind of defeating the point of local caching in CI
