Metadata

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.7.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Duplicate Check

  • Search queries: "cache nox environments", "nox cache", "ci nox performance"
  • Results: 0 issues found for each query. This is a new proposal.

Description

The ci.yml workflow uses nox to run various tasks, such as linting, type checking, and testing. Each time a nox session is run, it creates a new virtual environment and installs the required dependencies. This can be time-consuming, especially if the dependencies are large.

Proposal

To improve the performance of the CI process, we should investigate caching the nox environments. This would avoid the need to create a new virtual environment and install the dependencies every time a nox session is run.

Subtasks

  • Investigate how to cache the nox environments in the CI/CD pipeline.
  • Implement the caching mechanism in the ci.yml file.
  • Monitor the execution time of the CI jobs to verify that the changes have improved the performance.
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors.
  • Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report.

Definition of Done

  • The nox environments are cached in the CI/CD pipeline.
  • The time it takes to set up the nox environments is significantly reduced.
  • The overall CI execution time is reduced.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%.
