Github actions cache not working

Hi,
I’m trying to make a simple test workflow for my project using github actions:

name: CI
on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main
  push:
    branches:
      - main
    tags: ["*"]
jobs:
  test:
    name: Julia ${{ matrix.version }} - ${{ matrix.os }} - ${{ matrix.arch }} - ${{ github.event_name }}
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        version:
          - '1.8'
          - 'nightly'
        os:
          - ubuntu-latest
        arch:
          - x64
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: julia-actions/setup-julia@v1
        with:
          version: ${{ matrix.version }}
          arch: ${{ matrix.arch }}
      - name: Cache artifacts
        uses: actions/cache@v3
        env:
          cache-name: cache-artifacts
        with:
          path: |
            ~/.julia/artifacts
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-test-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ hashFiles('**/Project.toml') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-test-${{ env.cache-name }}-
            ${{ runner.os }}-test-
            ${{ runner.os }}-
      - uses: julia-actions/julia-buildpkg@v1
      - uses: julia-actions/julia-runtest@v1
      - uses: julia-actions/julia-processcoverage@v1
      - uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
        with:
          file: lcov.info
  docs:
    name: Documentation
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: julia-actions/setup-julia@v1
        with:
          version: '1.8'
      - run: |
          julia --project=docs -e '
            using Pkg
            Pkg.develop(PackageSpec(path=pwd()))
            Pkg.instantiate()'
      - run: |
          julia --project=docs -e '
            using Documenter: doctest
            using MyPackage
            doctest(MyPackage)'
      - run: julia --project=docs docs/make.jl
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          DOCUMENTER_KEY: ${{ secrets.DOCUMENTER_KEY }}

The tests run and everything, but I’ve noticed that the artifacts don’t actually get cached (from Post Cache artifacts):

Post job cleanup.
Warning: Path Validation Error: Path(s) specified in the action for caching do(es) not exist, hence no cache is being saved.

Now, I’ve copied this caching section, and in fact most of this workflow from OpenML.jl and their runs work as intended.

Does anyone have any idea what I’m doing wrong? Because I’m lost.

Use GitHub - julia-actions/cache: A shortcut action to cache Julia artifacts, packages, and registries.
