Action not correctly caching dependencies when using triplet-overlay about run-vcpkg

[sysnet-ai]

@lukka - Thanks so much for the response

Nice catch with the clients/cpp path - however that is something we do need in the 'real' repo (It was there due to eager copy pasting).

On the repro repository: https://github.com/sysnet-ai/vcpkg_caching_test seems like the last update helped (Moving to v7 and removing the extra path).

I bumped to v7 and it seems like our main job is now running with correct caching.

Thanks again, closing this out.

@sysnet-ai could you please provide a link to the workflow which is skipping (incorrectly) caching the binaries?

[sysnet-ai]

@lukka - I can't share the workflow since it is in a private repository, but I created a repo to reproduce it:
https://github.com/sysnet-ai/vcpkg_caching_test

As you can see 'Second Run' is not picking up anything from the cache even thou the first job does store something into the cache.

@sysnet-ai great to see a full repro of the problem, thanks!
I believe you could drop the clients/cpp from the input:
additionalCachedPaths: ${{ github.workspace }}/clients/cpp/vcpkg_installed
This is because the installation happens in <repo-root>/vcpkg_installed rather than <repo-root>/cpp/clients/vcpkg_installed.
Let me know if this helps, thanks!

@sysnet-ai also, please use the latest version, i.e., lukka/run-vcpkg@v7, and let me know as always, thanks!
