How to specify the directory for the cache of a Linux Shell Runner?

[Deya Sanchez]

Talks about setting up a Linux Shell Runner, it also advises that cache is not cleared and that:

"Be aware that we don’t restrict where your cache folder is located, so you can store the cache in any directory of the device.."

This is all fine, but how do I tell the runner what directory I want it to use as the cache location?

Hi Deya,

Do you mean the working directory? If so - you can specify this as part of the script/command that starts the runner:

./start.sh <other arguments> --workingDirectory /your/desired/path

Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

Cheers!
