is this indicating version 3.2.4 of actions/cache is being used and this indicates that it's deprecated?

Editing this out, as I linked to the action instead of the node library

[newman-dani]

I was able to bypass the error by setting no-cache: true but it does increase an action execution time.

UPD.
Started to fail again

If you look at the latest release for v6, it's pointing to 4.0.2 - which should be fine: https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/blob/v6.15.0/yarn.lock

Edit: @bradley-yoo-anrok good catch. The latest version of build-push-action is pinned to a deprecated version. I was under the impression that v4.* was okay from this notice: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-15-github-actions-ubuntu-20-runner-image-brownout-dates-and-other-breaking-changes/#actions-cache-v1-v2-and-actions-toolkit-cache-package-closing-down

But that scope is obviously larger than the original notice now.

[newman-dani]

@patbernard I do use 471d1dc4e07e5cdedd4c2171150001c434f0b7a4 # v6.15.0 and still getting it.

[bradley-yoo-anrok]

I don't think 4.0.2 is fine. if you look at the original deprecation notice, 4.1.2 is deprecated.

I can't believe the github's own decomission notice contains examples of upgrades that doesn't work.

[andrewhharmon]

yes we tried v6 and still got it as well

[mmckane]

I also tried V6 and am seeing this happen

[andrewhharmon]

I think this is the package being used here. it says v4.0.0 should be good.

[mmckane]

if it helps I am using docker/setup-buildx-action@v3 as well

[trautonen]

I'm using the latest docker/setup-buildx-action@v3 which yarn.lock currently points to

"@actions/cache@npm:^4.0.2":
  version: 4.0.2
  resolution: "@actions/cache@npm:4.0.2"

and the builds are failing

[jpugliesi]

Buildkit v0.20+ recently upgraded GHA Cache support to v2: moby/buildkit#5683

But Github's deprecation notice shows version <4.0 will are being deprecated

[aarashy]

Anybody know if its possible to use runs-on instead? We like this cache way better

[johnfountainsomos]

Buildkit v0.20+ fixes this: moby/buildkit#5683

You can upgrade by updating the docker/setup-buildx-action that's commonly run before this build-push-action:

- uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
  with:
    version: v0.20.0

this did not work for us. still the same failure

Indeed - v0.20 upgrades to cache API v2, while cache <v4.0 is being deprecated - updated my comment

[patbernard]

It looks like what we need is docker/actions-toolkit to cut a new release (the latest release is using 4.0.2). See: docker/actions-toolkit#643

Then docker/build-push-action can be updated to use the latest version of docker/actions-toolkit and we'll be on a supported version of actions/cache.

[andrewhharmon]

perhaps not as 4.0.0 and higher of the node library should support this .

[patbernard]

I think that did the trick. I ran the changes on a fork, and it worked for me: https://github.com/patbernard/build-push-action/tree/patbernard/update-cache-action-version

E.g.

    - name: Build and push image
      uses: patbernard/build-push-action@patbernard/update-cache-action-version

[bradley-yoo-anrok]

Are you sure it worked because the brownout just ended?

[patbernard]

Are you sure it worked because the brownout just ended?

I'm not sure now. 😢 I'll have to test again on April 8th if there's no other traction between now any then.

I did test just the bump from 0.56 -> 0.57 and that still had the issue. So the only other test I did that was after the brown-out ended was using main instead of 0.57 of the actions-toolkit.

Edit: Looking at this https://npmdiff.dev/%40actions%2Fcache/4.0.2/4.0.3/, I really doubt the 4.0.3 version fixes this. Feeling more confident it only worked because the brownout concluded.

I don't think 4.0.2 is fine. if you look at the original deprecation notice, 4.1.2 is deprecated.

actions/cache action should not be confused with the @actions/cache module. We are not using this library for type=gha cache backend but https://github.com/tonistiigi/go-actions-cache which supports the new cache service v2.

If you have this issue you're likely using BuildKit < 0.20.0 or Buildx < v0.21.0 that don't support cache service v2. This can happen on self-hosted runners so to make sure you're using the latest version of Buildx, either update your self-hosted runner or set version: latest in setup-buildx-action:

      -
        name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
        with:
          version: latest

Also it would be good if someone can give a link to the workflow run so we can take a look or full logs of the workflow.

[aleksey-perplexity]

I am using v0.20.2 of the buildkit, cached in our ECR:

    - name: Set up Docker Buildx # required for build cache
      id: buildx
      uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
      with:
        driver-opts: image=[redacted].dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/buildkit:v0.20.2
        install: true

This last step in my workflow is failing:

    - name: Build locally
      uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
      ...

Am I using the wrong version of something?

[crazy-max]

Am I using the wrong version of something?

Check Buildx >= 0.21.0 as well: #1345 (comment)

[mbazalik]

I can confirm, having same issue using buildx v0.22.0, buildkit v0.20.2, build-push-action v6 :(

[mbazalik]

I stand corrected, was using buildx v0.20.0, trying now with v0.22.0

[mbazalik]

with buildx v0.22.0 it works

[vovimayhem]

with buildx v0.22.0 it works

Worked for me as well. @crazy-max Maybe setting the docker/setup-buildx-action to use this BuildX version by default should work?
