Hi @lukka - Thanks for reminding us of this. For now, you can fall back to old behavior by setting the variable AZP_CACHING_CONTENT_FORMAT to Files.

I think we should work on the glob pattern for input path - https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/11219 , which will encompass the functionality that .artifactignore provides.

Hi @lukka - We are going to track this here - https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/11219 - support for globing for caching task.

Thanks.
