`flutter-action` step waiting for cache hit for 60 mins

[tanmay-pnaik]

Summary:

I use the flutter-action step with the cache value set to true. In one instance, the cache failed to download on the GitHub hosted runner, so the step waited for the default timeout of 60 minutes before downloading.

As per the documentation of actions/cache, this can be fixed by setting the SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS environment variable value in minutes.

Details:

Current flutter-action version: 2 flutter version use: 3.0.5 runner: macOS runner (GitHub hosted)

Step in my workflow:

     - name: Install and set Flutter version
        uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
        with:
          channel: "stable"
          flutter-version: ${{ env.FLUTTER_VERSION }}

Suggested fix:

Set environment variable SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS to 2 as per the documentation of actions/cache
