Setup EAS step is very slow on new PR (cache issue?)

[eliottparis]

Note

This issue is very similar to what @FaureAlexis described on #250.
I reopened a new one as suggested by GitHub as the last one was closed one year ago.

Description of the bug

The Λ Setup EAS step is very slow (almost 3min) for the first run in new PRs.

But it goes much faster on subsequent runs on the same PR (a few seconds)

To Reproduce

1. Create a GitHub workflow with the following content

name: App

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  eas-preview:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
      actions: write
      packages: write
    steps:
      - name: 🏗 Setup repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: 🌿 Setup Node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 18
          cache: npm
          cache-dependency-path: app/package-lock.json

      - name: Λ Setup EAS
        uses: expo/expo-github-action@v8
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.EXPO_TOKEN }}
          packager: npm
          eas-version: latest

2. Create a new PR to trigger the workflow

Additional info

I run this workflow on a private repo, and my app is located in an app directory

Expected behavior

To run faster from the first run.

Actual behavior

On the first run, The Λ Setup EAS step is very slow (almost 3min).
After Patching system watchers for the 'ENOSPC' error, the job seems idle for almost 2min.

Additional context

The first run seems to be missing the cache.
The cache was marked as successfully saved in the previously merged PR on main with the same version of eas:

  /usr/bin/tar --posix -cf cache.tzst --exclude cache.tzst -P -C /home/runner/work/expo-poc/expo-poc --files-from manifest.txt --use-compress-program zstdmt
  Cache Size: ~14 MB (14890194 B)
  Cache saved successfully

Also, I noticed a cache conflict with actions/setup-node@v4 post step on every jobs

Hey,
Same issue.

Do you get:

/home/runner/.npm
npm cache is not found?
