Travis CI: PR builds reuse the target branch cache, not their own

Export

On Travis CI, a pull request build reuses the target branch cache; it does not build up its own.

On Travis CI, a pull request build reuses the target branch cache; it does not build up its own. If your PR build seems to ignore recent dependency changes, check what the base branch cache contains.

Context: From the official Travis CI caching docs. Cache lookup for pull request builds falls back to the target branch cache, not a cache of their own, and branch caches are keyed per branch. The docs also describe which directories are cached by default per language and that caches are stored per branch. Expecting a PR build to warm its own cache from scratch misunderstands the lookup order.

Geo-target proxies to state and city, not just country, for local scrapingGeo-target proxies to state and city, not just country, for local scraping: For geo-sensitive scraping, set the proxy geolocation to match your target - country, state, and city - not just the country.Read skill →Travis CI: xcodebuild exited with 65 on iOS simulator tests (flaky, simulator not warmed up)The flaky exit code 65 comes from the iOS simulator not being ready when tests start. Pre-start/warm the simulator at the beginning of the build before running xcodebuild (e.g. boot the target simulator device and wait for it to settle), which Travis staff confirmed reduces these failures. Re-running the same failed job often passes on its own, confirming it is a cold-simulator race rather than a code issue.Read skill →Dash Callbacks Not Firing or Firing in a Loop: Dependency Rules, Circular Callbacks, prevent_initial_callWhy a Plotly Dash callback never fires (State does not fire; check Input wiring), why it fires too often (any Input change fires; branch on ctx.triggered_id), why it fires on load (prevent_initial_call=True), and how to break CircularDependency errors (merge synced props into one callback or split flows through a store). Sharing an Output via allow_duplicate=True, and the serverside-vs-clientside latency tradeoff: when the clientside_callback wins and when the server roundtrip is unavoidable.Read skill →
