Push even if the build fails

[rtimush]

Until v4 the paths were pushed in parallel with the build, so the cache was populated even if the build would at the end fail. It seems that the current version updates the cache only if the build succeeds. This can be quite inconvenient for long builds.
What do you think about running the Cachix: Pushing paths group even if Invoking nix-build failed?

Agreed, now that 0.3.7 is out I'll bring that back in.

I just came around to report this too. Especially in an early phase of a repository with dependencies that builds for an hour or more (think ghcjs) this would be very useful!

Planning to do this one in a couple of days.

[nomeata]

Thanks :)

So does this still work in cachix-action-v4 or do I have to use cachix-action-v3?

[domenkozar]

This is fixed on master, I'm testing if it also works when the build timeouts.
