Node Action Cache Error (DEPRECATED: we now use our own s3 for cache)

This might happen sometimes, it is usually not related to our runners, nor is it something that we broke ourselves (or at least it shouldn't be). The most probable case is, there is an issue with the cache action.

Possible solution

Temporarily deactivate the pnpm cache in node-setup action (which is a pain because it's present on almost all workflows). It might also be present in ./tools/actions/composites/**.

From:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: 16.x
    cache: pnpm
    cache-dependency-path: "**/pnpm-lock.yaml"

To:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: 16.x
    # cache: pnpm
    # cache-dependency-path: "**/pnpm-lock.yaml"
