.. taskcluster_caches:
=============
Common Caches
=============
There are various caches used by the in-tree tasks. This page attempts to
document them and their appropriate use.
Version Control Caches
======================
``level-{{level}}-checkouts-{{version}}``
This cache holds version control checkouts, each in a subdirectory named
after the repo (e.g., ``gecko``).
Checkouts should be read-only. If a task needs to create new files from
content of a checkout, this content should be written in a separate
directory/cache (like a workspace).
A ``version`` parameter appears in the cache name to allow
backwards-incompatible changes to the cache's behavior.
``level-{{level}}-{{project}}-tc-vcs`` (deprecated)
This cache is used internally by ``tc-vcs``. This tool is deprecated and
should be replaced with ``hg robustcheckout``.
Workspace Caches
================
``level-{{level}}-*-workspace``
These caches (of various names typically ending with ``workspace``)
contain state to be shared between task invocations. Use cases are
dependent on the task.
Other
=====
``tooltool-cache``
Tooltool invocations should use this cache. Tooltool will store files here
indexed by their hash, and will verify hashes before copying files from
this directory, so there is no concern with sharing the cache between jobs
of different levels.
