Metadata

  • Branch: task/ci-dependency-caching
  • Commit Message: feat(ci): implement dependency caching to reduce build times
  • Milestone: v3.8.0
  • Parent Epic: #1678

Summary

Currently, our CI pipeline does not cache dependencies between builds. This leads to longer build times, as dependencies are re-downloaded and re-installed for every single build.

By implementing dependency caching, we can significantly reduce build times and improve the overall efficiency of our CI pipeline.

Subtasks

  • Investigate the best way to implement dependency caching in our CI pipeline.
  • Implement dependency caching for all relevant dependencies (e.g., pip, npm, etc.).
  • Monitor the CI pipeline to ensure that the dependency caching is working as expected.
  • Update features/ci_workflow_validation.feature to assert caching steps are present
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
  • Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

  • Dependency caching is implemented in the CI pipeline.
  • Build times are significantly reduced.
  • The CI pipeline is stable and reliable.
  • A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
  • The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
  • The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%
