Be able to retrieve cache if present but not upload it if not

Summary

Hi there!

Is there a way to be able at the same time to:

• fetch the result of a job from the remote cache if it exists
• not upload the result to the remote cache if it's not already in the cache so the job has to run
  ?

We have a step in our CI that is on the critical path in terms of duration so we would like to benefit from the cache if it exists but not spend time uploading data if not. It takes ~15s seconds to do the upload which would be great to avoid.

Thanks in advance for you answer!

It sounds like you're looking for the --cache flag: https://turborepo.com/docs/reference/run#--cache-options

To ensure you can read from but not write to the Remote Cache, that would be --cache=remote:r.

That's exactly it. Thanks a lot!
