Would it make sense to remove the tool cache here? I've seen issues w/ the tools cache before

I think so, certainly if we're going to install tools every time anyways.

I think caching is still helpful to reduce the CI time. Did you try to look what's the reason for the latest failures? I can look into that as well

[djaglowski]

I've not been able to pin down the reason that caching started failing. It certainly seems worth getting to the bottom of though, since it will help us make an informed decision about whether to restore it or not. Help is certainly welcome.

I've opened #9280 to track the need to determine the cause of caching failure, but I recommend we move forward with merging this fix in order to unblock development.

[codeboten]

In the past, I've updated dependencies in the internal/tools directory to force a rebuild of the tools cache. I can't remember if we ever got to the bottom of why this happens though.

See #9281

I'm not sure merging this PR is needed at this point. Looks like it's recovered already. We can keep the PR until the next incident, if the root cause is not fixed by that time we can merge it?

[djaglowski]

I'll close this PR because #9281 appears to have solved it, but I don't believe it resolved on its own. #9279 still presents the problem, which I believe is the newest PR excluding Alex's fix. PRs opened prior to the issue emerging appear to have continued working.

Closing in favor of #9281
