Tuist cache should allow pre-built local cache to be sync with the cloud

What problem or need do you have?

Continue the discussion in this Slack thread.

Run tuist cache before adding the cloud configuration to the Config.swift and built the cache locally.
Added the remote configuration to the Config.swift, and authenticate with Tuist Cloud (tuist cloud auth.
Run tuist cache results in a "Cache already filled" and no upload process to the cloud takes place, the cloud cache remains empty.

tuist clean which empties the local cache solves it, is the caching it again will "link" with the cloud from the beginning.
But it would be nice, since caching is a long process, to allow uploading already cached binaries from local workstations to the cloud.

Potential solution

We should allow updating the remote cache, even a force push could be useful

macOS version

14.4.1

Tuist version

Xcode version

For anyone coming across this issue in the future. You can run rm -rf ~/.cache/tuist-cloud and warm the cache again. It's a bit annoying because you go through the compilation cycle.

I think this is a very niche corner case with a good enough workaround, I wouldn't add code and/or complexity to handle this
