Reduce cache size in pipeline

[Rajat Jain]

I have created custom cache for pipeline.. where it exceeds the memory limit to .34 GB (total cache was 1.34 GB) which is not allowed in the pipeline. Here cache limit is 1 GB, if the size of cache is exceed it'll skip and does not create any cache.

image: python:3.6.2
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        caches:
          - condacache
        script:
          - /opt/python/bin/conda update -y conda
          - /opt/python/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
          - /opt/python/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
          - /opt/python/bin/pytest

definitions:
  caches:
    condacache: /opt/python

Here is my Script from pipeline please look and give suggestion how can i reduce my cache size and if i could ignore any script to save in cache.

Hi Rajat,

Can you try replacing you caches section with the following?

definitions:
  caches:
    - pip

This will use the default caching directory pip modules. As noted here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/caching-dependencies-895552876.html

By caching /opt/python, you're also caching all the binary files. Which is contributing to your large cache, and doesn't need to be cached as it's included in the python image.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks,

Phil
