Is there a way to disable the image cache? It causes crashes with npm/npx scripts not being found.

Action version:
actions/setup-node@v3

Platform:

• Ubuntu

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:
node-version: lts/gallium
packageManager: npm@8.13.2

Repro steps:
N/A

Expected behavior:
Ability to disable all caches

Actual behavior:
Unable to find how to disable node cache.

Please note that I am not using cache: 'npm'. I am referring to the image cache.

Any workarounds like clearing a cache path beforehand are welcome.

Hello @jlarmstrongiv. Thank you for your report. You can try to use check-latest to download version from node-version. What issue with npm/npx do you have ? Could you please provide public repository to reproduce it ? Npm and npx are added in the PATH.

Hi @dmitry-shibanov and @marko-zivic-93 ! Thanks for getting back to me. After investigating today, it appears that the issue was introduced in npm in 8.13.x. I have created an issue npm/run-script#91 and pr npm/run-script#92 to resolve it.
