Does Hugo cache remote resources?

support
1

Do I need to add anything for remote JSON files to be cached in the resources folder? Because looking in there, no files there.

[caches]
  [caches.getresource]
    dir = ':cacheDir/:project'
    maxAge = "168h"
  [caches.images]
    dir  = ':resourceDir/_gen'
    maxAge = "1440h"
  [caches.assets]
    dir = ':resourceDir/_gen'
    maxAge  = -1

Looking in where?

With the configuration shown above, the result is stored in the cacheDir, not the resourceDir.

hugo config | grep cachedir

With Linux the above will show something like:

/home/jmooring/.cache/hugo_cache

After clearing my cache and running a simple test:

tree ~/.cache/hugo_cache/

Result:

/home/jmooring/.cache/hugo_cache/
└── hugo-testing/
    └── filecache/
        └── getresource/
            └── 5925642490856772588

@jmooring is there any need to commit these files or just .gitignore them?

Search this forum for “commit resources”. The short answer is… it depends.
