How to cache other dependencies than build tool in bitbucket pipelines ?

Ankit Thakur

Hi,

I am able to cache the gradle specific dependencies, however, since there are other dependencies, viz., AWS Java SDK libraries that need to be downloaded and compiled, i wish to know of a way to cache these dependencies as well.

The current bitbucket-pipelines.yml is the following.

image: java:8
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        caches:
          - gradle               # pre-defined cache
          - gradlewrapper        # custom cache
        script:
          - ./gradlew build
definitions:
  caches:
    gradlewrapper: ~/.gradle/wrapper

Hi Ankit,

You're on the right track! All that's really left for you to figure is to find the directories which contain the files you wish to cache. Then you can create another cache in your definitions section.

definitions:
  caches:
    cache1: ~/path1
    cache2: ~/path2

You can find more information here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/caching-dependencies-895552876.html

Thanks,
