Chocolatey folder cache issue

Hi,

I use the cache to avoid to download and install all chocolatey packages for each build but I made a mistake and the cache for my project is unstable, is it possible to reset it?
Here the project url: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/laedit/vika

Also, to avoid you another request like this, is it possible to reset the cache from the settings tab?

Another question, I use the cache like this with chocolatey package:
- C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib

But I need to cache the shim generated by chocolatey in the bin folder, like this:
- C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\OpenCover.Console.exe

And if I forgot one the build is broken, because the real tool path is not in the PATH env variable.

Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks.

   Hi Jeremy,

   We've just added "cache dependencies" feature (https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/83#issue-51387021), so you can use some file as a dependency for C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib cache item, for example:

   cache:
     - C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib -> appveyor.yml
   

   This will mean invalidate C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib whenever appveyor.yml is changed. Dependency check is performed on build start and cache item won't be restored if dependency changed. At the end of successful build cache item will be updated.
