Include caching in action

[koppor]

It is now "modern" to include caching the action itself. See for example the gradle setup action.

Thus, it would be convenient if the action also included automatic caching and not requiring the user to add a "cache" step for themselves.

+1, agree it would be nice. Do you want to give a try on a PR for it?

If I only had time.... Since I re-discovered this, I put it on my TODO list for this century 😅

Basic caching was outlined at #8 (comment)

Which directories to cache? Only ~/.jbang is not enough.

jbang-action fails if https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang/releases/latest/download/jbang.tar cannot be downloaded.

That file is cached inside jbang so that should be cached.

When caching, please pay attention on different paths on Windows and Linux - see #9 (comment)

Want to submit a PR with example/warning on that? Would be useful for others to be aware.

I re-iterated on that - and cygwin perfectly resolves ~. Thus, the PR #10 should be good to go (with that regard)

Exit code 22 means usually Rate limit hit, this means you should add support for token, e.g. as mentioned here fluxcd/flux2#3509 (comment)

[maxandersen]

Where is that exit code 22 you refer to?

We had this in a run today https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/actions/runs/19547581789/job/55970289665
and cache was not found
