Pipeline config dev descriptor and bundle cache

Hey everyone,

When using a dev descriptor for my pipeline configuration defined in Shotgun:

sgtk:descriptor:dev?path=/Users/kp/Documents/dev/tk-config-mystudio

if I have apps referenced by git descriptors in my config, that already exist in my bundle cache, Toolkit still tries to download them from git. And if the download fails (for example, I don’t have access to the repo), the apps don’t get displayed despite them already being present in my bundle cache.

Is this expected behavior? And is there a way to get Toolkit to check the bundle cache before trying to re-download these apps?

I even tried linking the bundle cache into my dev config:

/Users/kp/Documents/dev/tk-config-mystudio/bundle_cache -> /Users/kp/Library/Caches/Shotgun/bundle_cache

but that didn’t seem to work either. I can come up with other convoluted solutions, but wondering if there’s a simple better way?

cheers,
kp
