Carthage: How to use org.carthage.CarthageKit folder to speed up build?

[ton252]

I'm trying to setup Carthage on my CI.

For example I have a project with one dependency.
I want this dependency will not to rebuild every time, when CI build start.
For this feature, as written in the documentation, we need to use --use-cache flag.
But my CI clean build folder every time, that it start new build.

I thought, if Carthage try to find builded dependencies in Carthage/Build folder, and if he couldn't find dependencies there he try to search them in org.carthage.CarthageKit folder. But it don't and start rebuild all dependencies?

Could somebody explain how it works? I and how I can get cached build from org.carthage.CarthageKit folder?

0.32.0 is not caching in that folder.

The flag is --cache-builds that just avoid re-building already built binaries found in Carthage/Checkout

What you want can be achieved with https://github.com/blender/Rome

You can look of what I've implemented to have a "shared cache" accross project for issue https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage/issues/2400

Let's say two projects uses Alamofire 3.0, when bootstrap project A, it will be compiled, it won't need a second compilation when bootstrap-ing project B

When we really need org.carthage.CarthageKit folder? And if it doesn't extract .framework files from org.carthage.CarthageKit folder why it stores frameworks there? What is the real purpose of this folder?

The org.carthage.CarthageKit folder caches:

• Copies of dependency repositories
• Copies of binary dependencies
• Shared derived data folders
