I've updated the description of the PR as well as the one in the commit (which required a force-push) to more clearly explain how this flag is useful. I don't think the original thing I wrote made a lot of sense. |
When set to true, this flag causes Bazel to abort the build whenever it encounters an action that is not cached. This is very useful when trying to troubleshoot action caching issues across machines because it allows running a build on one and having it fail on another as soon as there is a problem without tainting what already exists in the cache. My workflow is to essentially do: 1. Machine 1: bazel clean 2. Machine 1: bazel build ... 3. Machine 2: bazel clean 4. Machine 2: bazel build --experimental_remote_require_cached ... which makes step 4 fail on the first action that wasn't cached as expected. Then I can address that problem and re-run step 4 to encounter the next issue.
