Description:

The version as specified in go-version is used verbatim in the cache key. If I specify 1.18.x it may first resolve to 1.18.6 and later to 1.18.7. However, if I store a build cache on 1.18.6 it is not usable for 1.18.7.

Action version:

v3

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:

1.18.x

Repro steps:
Run a nightly action with 1.18.x and observe the build times go up once a new patch version of Go is released.

Expected behavior:
I would expect the cache key to change and a new build to upload a new cache entry.

Actual behavior:
The cache key interpolates 1.18.x and the cache isn't used when a new patch version is released.
