Github action not caching node_modules across jobs

Viewed 1181

I have a Github action on pull_request, and am attempting to cache node_modules between jobs. I can only see cache working on a job re-run, but not when opening new PRs, even when there have been no changes to my node_modules.

Is this by design?

Each time it runs in a new PR, I see this output in the job:

Run actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: ~/.npm
    key: Linux-build-cache-node-modules-83fc6365b85dd061416fccd5993d48c2003c388bb2184fd57f28d1041d9d261e
    restore-keys: Linux-build-cache-node-modules-
  Linux-build-
  Linux-
  
  env:
    cache-name: cache-node-modules
Cache not found for input keys: Linux-build-cache-node-modules-83fc6365b85dd061416fccd5993d48c2003c388bb2184fd57f28d1041d9d261e, Linux-build-cache-node-modules-, Linux-build-, Linux-

Yet, re-running the job will enjoy the cache hit:
