package caching not working

[pure...@gmail.com]

Hello,

So I configure rez using a file that I point to via an env var like so:

    export REZ_CONFIG_FILE="/server/config/.rezconfig"

and my .rezconfig file looks like this:

{

packages_path: ["/local/rez/packages","/server/rez/packages"],

local_packages_path: "/local/rez/packages",

release_packages_path: "/server/rez/packages",

cache_packages_path = "/local/rez/cache",

}

but nothing ever gets written to   /local/rez/cache

looking at the docs, it seems like setting this path should be enough to enable caching

am I missing something or does it just not work? can someone else confirm that caching works for them?

Setting said path is enough only if your packages are configured to be cacheable. If you have not set this anywhere you can also set a global default. See https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/blob/049b1255aced707e8c7a6deb901b087735cb4d8f/src/rez/rezconfig.py#L226

Cheers,

Thanks,

so now I have:

{

packages_path: ["/local/rez/packages","/server/rez/packages"],

local_packages_path: "/local/rez/packages",

release_packages_path: "/server/rez/packages",

cache_packages_path = "/local/rez/cache",

default_cachable = True,

}

But I still have nothing getting written to  /local/rez/cache

I also tried putting 

    cachable = True

in a package config, but seems to have made no difference.

I am not sure how to debug.  I added --verbose to the rez-env call but that didn't tell me much

so I ran: 

rez pkg-cache

and got:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

usage: rez pkg-cache [-h] [-a URI [URI ...] | --logs | -r URI [URI ...] |

                     --clean]

                     [-c {status,package,variant_uri,orig_path,cache_path} [{status,package,variant_uri,orig_path,cache_path} ...]]

                     [-f] [-v]

                     [DIR]

rez pkg-cache: error: DIR must be specified, as there is no configured 'cache_packages_path'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it seems that the setting I have in my REZ_CONFIG_FILE is not being read.

I think this may be a bug?  I have checked that the other values in the file are being read, and they are.

When you run the rez-pkg-cache command you should see the status. Maybe there is a stalled process or something like that? Also keep in mind that copying is asynchronous.

hey again.

so setting the config via environment variables works. 

doing this:

export REZ_CACHE_PACKAGES_PATH="/rez/cache"

resulted in it working.

I can only conclude that either there is a bug, 

or I had some kind of formatting error or similar in my .rezconfig file. -but I cant see one.

I will set this config via environment variables for now.

Thanks for your help.

What else do you need to trigger caching?

For example when I enter an environment for PySide2. Where PySide2 is on a shared network drive...
rez-env PySide2

I would like caching to be invoked, to copy the package into my local packages directory.
