This is expected, see actions/cache README:
#1270 / #1191 bumped
@actions/cacheto 4.x, so this should be fixed forsetup-nodev3.9.0 / 4.2.0 and above.timothyjward commentedon Jun 13, 2025
In #1270 the cache action is set to 4.0.3. It needs to be at least 4.2.0 to pick up the fix.

Hi @timothyjward,
Just to clarify: the cache dependency version 4.0.3 you're referring to is the internal package used from the toolkit (for action authors), whereas 4.2.0 refers to the version of the standalone actions/cache Action that's used directly in workflow YAML.
So, these are related but refer to different components and their versioning is managed separately.
