By caching files and directories on Travis, we can save time with re/installation because we do not need to re-download the same files over and over again. The recommended way to cache pip
-installed packages on Travis CI is shown below:
cache:
- pip: true
However, this only works for Linux environments. To support OSX and Windows, we can specify the cache directories for pip
.
matrix:
include:
- name: "Python: 3.6"
os: osx
language: shell
python: 3.6
cache:
- directories:
- $HOME/Library/Caches/pip
- name: "Python: 3.6"
os: windows
language: shell
before_install:
- choco install python --version=3.6.8
cache:
directories:
- $LOCALAPPDATA/pip/Cache
If your project uses poetry
, it is recommended to cache these directories for faster installation.
- Linux:
$HOME/.cache/pypoetry
- OSX:
$HOME/Library/Caches/pypoetry
- Windows:
$LOCALAPPDATA/pypoetry/cache
