Dependencies file is not found. Supported file pattern: go.sum

[fmunteanu]

Description:
I'm getting this warning, on my workflow:

Warning: Restore cache failed: Dependencies file is not found in /home/runner/work/hugo-test/hugo-test. Supported file pattern: go.sum

There is a previous issue #281, where the solution was to have the checkout executed prior setup-go, which is not the case for my workflow.

Action version:
setup-go@v5

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:
go1.22.2 linux/amd64

Repro steps:
See the related Setup Go step, into workflow details.

Expected behavior:
No warnings should be generated.

Actual behavior:
Workflow output:

Run actions/setup-go@v5
  with:
    go-version: 1.22.x
    check-latest: false

I'm not sure what effect has disabling the cache related to build time, but when I do this, the warning is gone. From my understanding, starting with v4, caching is enabled by default. New step, with cache disabled:

      - name: Setup Go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          cache: false
          go-version: 1.22.x

Workflow build step has no more warnings:

See #478.

Setting the step to (docs reference):

      - name: Setup Go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          cache: true
          cache-dependency-path: |
            **/go.mod
            **/go.sum

Produces another warning, see Post Setup Go step in workflow:
