I'm trying to use 'cache' in .gitlab-ci.yml (http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html#cache). My gitlab version is 8.2.1 and my Runner is:
$ docker exec -it gitlab-runner gitlab-runner -v
gitlab-runner version 0.7.2 (998cf5d)
So according to the doc, everything is up to date, but I'm unable to use the cache ;-(. All my files are always deleted. Am I doing something wrong?
A cache archive is created, but not passed to the next jobs.
$ cat .gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
- createcache
- testcache

untracked: true

script:
- touch doc/cache.txt

untracked: true
paths:

script:
- find .
- ls doc/cache.txt

My workaround is to manually untar what's in the /cache directory ... I'm pretty sure that's not the correct way to use cache ...
