My Gitlab CI/CD job has a Maven-cache defined which does not seem to work. The /cache directory as well as the path directory are empty.
This is my .gitlab-ci-yaml:
variables:
MAVEN_OPTS: "-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2 -Dmaven.repo.local=$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.m2/repository -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.log.org.apache.maven.cli.transfer.Slf4jMavenTransferListener=WARN -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.showDateTime=true -Djava.awt.headless=true"
MAVEN_CLI_OPTS: "--batch-mode --errors --fail-at-end --show-version -DinstallAtEnd=true -DdeployAtEnd=true"
.cache-m2: &cache-m2
cache:
- key: "mavenRepo"
paths:
- .m2/repository
test_backend:
stage: test
image: maven:3-openjdk-11
tags:
- docker
<<: *cache-m2
script:
- ls -al .m2/repository || true
- mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=settings.localRepository -q -DforceStdout
- mvn $MAVEN_CLI_OPTS clean test
This is the job log:

It looks like a cache was found (Checking cache for mavenRepo-4) and it was extracted (Successfully extracted cache)
but the directories do not exists.
What am I doing wrong?
