This has the side effect of making our AppVeyor test runs \u003e 10 minutes long. We have to find a better way of caching packages.\n\nFull CI outputs: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/etpinard/plotly-js/build/7\n\nAny help from anyone with access to a Windows machine and/or with AppVeyor expertise would be greatly appreciated.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/etpinard","@type":"Person","name":"etpinard"},"datePublished":"2016-04-15T15:15:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/431/plotly.js/issues/431"}
