I am trying to add github actions workflow in my application. This is a new laravel app with default workflow from github with modifications on caching node_modules and vendor. Based on the logs, I was able to cache the vendor but not the node_modules

Below are the data added:

Cache Node Dependencies

Run actions/cache@v4
  with:
    path: **/node_modules
  
    key: Linux-node-
    restore-keys: Linux-node-
  
    enableCrossOsArchive: false
    fail-on-cache-miss: false
    lookup-only: false
    save-always: false
Cache not found for input keys: Linux-node-, Linux-node-

Cache PHP Dependencies

Run actions/cache@v4
  with:
    path: **/vendor
  
    key: Linux-composer-
    restore-keys: Linux-composer-
  
    enableCrossOsArchive: false
    fail-on-cache-miss: false
    lookup-only: false
    save-always: false
Cache Size: ~22 MB (22933639 B)
/usr/bin/tar -xf /home/runner/work/_temp/910c20f3-da02-4663-80dc-3a136c067ace/cache.tzst -P -C /home/runner/work/demoapp/demoapp --use-compress-program unzstd
Cache restored successfully
Cache restored from key: Linux-composer-

Post Cache Node Dependencies

Post job cleanup.
Warning: Path Validation Error: Path(s) specified in the action for caching do(es) not exist, hence no cache is being saved.

Post Cache PHP Dependencies

Post job cleanup.
Cache hit occurred on the primary key Linux-composer-, not saving cache.

      # Cache node_modules
      - name: Cache Node.js dependencies
        uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: |
            **/node_modules
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-node-

      # Cache vendor directory
      - name: Cache PHP dependencies
        uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: |
            **/vendor
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-composer-${{ hashFiles('**/composer.lock') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-composer-

      ... others

Why is the node_modules not caching?

PS. Not part of the main question but quick question. On Post Cache PHP Dependencies, is this the message when cache is used? Since the message before the message at the top was Cache saved successfully.
