Strange sporadic "Could not get yarn cache folder path" with v3

Description:
We currently encounter sporadic issues in our CI pipelines that make use of setup-node@v3 with Yarn 1 Caching. During setup-node the command yarn cache dir fails for only one (apparently) random project folder with exit code 1, at least the error message Could not get yarn cache folder path for ... is printed, and the build fails. This started around the time we migrated the CI to Node 20 in mid-October.

These issues are not easily reproducible since it works fine most of the time, but then fails in only one very specific place only. The GHA workflow contains multiple very similar jobs that perform the same setup, and of these only one job fails the command in only one particular folder. After one to a few rebuilds the issue has usually resolved itself. Unfortunately, with enough repositories, CI jobs and project folders, it's only a question of time until it pops up again.

Sometimes, the error message is accompanied by what appears to be a V8/nodejs Stacktrace crashing somewhere about v8::internal::Deserializer called by node::contextify::ContextifyScript::New(v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value> const&) [node] with either

# Fatal error in , line 0
# Check failed: current == end_slot_index.

or

# Fatal error in , line 0
# unreachable code

Clearing the caches from Management > Caches in the Actions UI did not help, and after looking through all the code that gets executed until this point and could (or could not) cause such issues, and being unable to find anyone else with the same issue, I'm having a really hard time understanding how this can happen.

In one build I noticed something else rather odd: the debug output of /usr/local/bin/yarn --version was inconsistent and printed 1.18.0 instead of 1.22.19. In all other builds however, they all report the same version (1.22.19).

So my best guess is we're experiencing some sort of very specific setup race condition or so, although I can't say what is causing this. I'm open for any suggestions how to further debug/resolve this.

Expected behavior:
Action completes setting up the cache and not failing the build.

Actual behavior:
Action nondeterministically fails the build due to the issue described.

Thank you for the detailed issue description! We will investigate the problem and come back to you with the details.

For posterity, have been experiencing the sporadic issue as well. Started noticing it after an upgrade to node 20. I then updated the setup-node action to v4 as I saw the runtime of that action was node-20. The upgrade to v4 reduced the amount of times we see the error but it still happens, just less than on v3.

yarn cache apparently not working for the same Ubuntu / hosted setup with node 20 and actions v4

Configuration:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
    cache: 'yarn'

Log:

actions/setup-node@v4

node: v20.10.0
npm: 10.2.3
yarn: 4.0.2

/usr/local/bin/yarn --version
4.0.2
/usr/local/bin/yarn config get cacheFolder
/home/runner/.yarn/berry/cache
/usr/local/bin/yarn config get enableGlobalCache
true
yarn cache is not found

@xcq1

I can notice the same sporadic problem since a recent update to Node 20 + actions/setup-node@v4.

@xcq1 Do you have found any way to bypass the problem since the creation of the report?

We're running into this issue consistently since a few days ago. Here is the Runner info:

~~Annoyingly, it seems to print the correct cache folders at the end, that it said it was unable to find?~~ It seems to fail to get the cache for one of the folders while succeeding for the rest.

@frederic-saunier

@frederic-saunier Unfortunately not. As far as I know upgrading to v4 did reduce the frequency, but the problem is definitely still there.

Hello!

I'm facing a similar issue, however not with setup-node. I'm facing this with Nx/pnpm/Atlassian Bamboo. There is an issue filed with nodejs for similar crashes (nodejs/node#51555). So I'm presuming this may be occuring outside of setup-node.

I think I am running into this as well, but it doesn't seem to be intermittent though

I'm still running into this issue, I've tried the above steps but no dice.

We're seeing these sporadic failures too

I'm guessing there are probably multiple causes of this issue, but I managed to fix it on my own repositories by specifying the yarn.lock file

In other words, I changed
cache-dependency-path: nested-directory/

to
cache-dependency-path: nested-directory/yarn.lock

I see someone above already specified yarn.lock so this probably isn't the only reason for failure, but it worked for me.

@xcq1

Hello @xcq1, Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We have thoroughly investigated the situation and were unable to reproduce the problem you're experiencing with the actions/setup-node workflow.
We have successfully run the setup with caching for Yarn dependencies without encountering the error. It seems that the issue might be environment-specific or related to a particular configuration.
Based on the logs and the setup-node current logic, the process for retrieving the Yarn cache directory is working correctly in most cases, but it encounters an error for the specific project directory /home/runner/work/private-repository/private-repository/service/microfrontend. As per the investigation the setup-node logic successfully retrieves the Yarn version (1.22.19) and correctly decides to use the yarn cache dir command. For the directory /home/runner/work/private-repository/private-repository/service/microfrontend, the process fails with the error message: Could not get yarn cache folder path for /home/runner/work/private-repository/private-repository/service/microfrontend. This indicates that the command to fetch the cache directory is likely not returning the expected output for this specific project directory.
Please find the below screenshot for reference.
Potential Causes:

the microfrontend directory should properly set up and contains a valid yarn.lock file. If it's missing or incorrectly configured, it might affect how Yarn resolves its cache directory.
If there are any permission-related issues that might be preventing Yarn from accessing or creating the cache in that directory. Certain environment variables or configurations might affect how Yarn behaves.
We should make sure that any relevant configurations are consistent across the projects.

If you could provide more details with public repro link about your setup or any specific error messages you're receiving, it would be helpful for further investigation.

@xcq1

Hello @xcq1, Please provide more details with public repro link about your setup or any specific error messages you're receiving, it would be helpful for further investigation as we are unable to reproduce the issue from our end.

@xcq1

Hello @xcq1, gentle reminder.. to get more details with public repro link about your setup or any specific error messages you're receiving, it would be helpful for further investigation as we are unable to reproduce the issue from our end.

@xcq1

Hello @xcq1, We are proceeding to close this issue after two reminders as we didn't hear anything from a long time.
Please feel free to reach us in case of any concerns or assistance needed to reopen this issue.

Hey @aparnajyothi-y and others, this issue happens sporadically in my project still. Example run here: https://github.com/tursodatabase/limbo/actions/runs/15037673086/job/42262520250?pr=1481
