Is the remote cache supposed to cache test results?

[s...@improbable.io]

I've been trying out the remote cache functionality described at https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/remote/README.md which seems to work extremely well for caching build results.

However, it doesn't seem to cache _test_ results on 0.5.3. If I run bazel clean and then build, I get everything immediately from the cache, but if I test the tests are always run again.

Is this supposed to work? From https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/1413 it seems like it's intended. Do I have to do something extra?

Hello,

That sounds like a bug to me, passing test should be cached...

I figured out my test having the "exclusive" tag is what's causing it to ignore cached passes. Not sure if this is intentional, I will file an issue.

Exclusive implies local, this is a known issue yes...
