Followup question. Is it only process executions that are cached between runs?

As I can’t seem to make sense of the various combinations of

--[no-]local-cache

and

@rule

as it seems to always run my rules every time, so there’s no inter-process caching. But it does memoize my rules, even if I use

@_uncacheable_rule

.. which I would’ve expected it not to, I think…

(this is tinkering with embedded use of Pants, but I think this behaviour would match regular use too)

AAhh.. OK, I found that when using a new scheduler session,

@_uncacheable_rule

is re-run then, but regular

@rule

is not. So the caching for rules is between sessions, where as all rules are always memoized for within a single session.

And none of this seems to be affected by the

--local-cache

option..
