S3 cache plugin suddenly failing

Drone Support

Hi,

I have been using the S3 cache plugin successfully for a couple of months, but now it suddenly stopped working and giving a validation error.

My yaml build step:
- name: cache-restore
image: plugins/s3-cache
settings:
pull: true
endpoint: https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
region: eu-central-1
restore: true
root: /mybucket/

Error:
“validation failed: region eu-central-1 already specified in endpoint remove from config”

I removed the region-value and tried again, then build step is passed as succeeding, but when inspecting closer it actually failed:

Status: Image is up to date for plugins/s3-cache:latest
4 time=“2020-08-19T10:47:12Z” level=info msg=“mode specified using boolean config” flush=false rebuild=false restore=true

11 time=“2020-08-19T10:48:01Z” level=info msg=“cache restored”

us-east-1? 301 response?

Then build continued anyway and when reaching the step to rebuild the cache, which normally takes 15-30s, well now it is still sitting at that step 30 minutes later.

Any idea what has happened? Some change in the plugin recently?

I recommend creating an issue at drone-plugins/drone-s3-cache. I can see commit activity for this plugin so it is possible there is a regression. However, this plugin is community maintained, and the community maintainers may not monitor this discourse forum, so a github issue is probably your best option to get help.

OK, I was considering to do that first but there was a note saying issue needs to be discussed here before opened in Github. Anyway I opened the issue if someone comes by here: https://github.com/drone-plugins/drone-s3-cache/issues/63

thanks for the heads up. I can see how this is confusing. I will ask them to remove this from community-driven projects
