The action defaults to search for the dependency file - go.sum in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of
the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` input for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located
in different subdirectories.

        - subdir/go.sum

So I think it make sense to open an issue there.

# cache-dependency-path: "**/*.sum"

- run: go run hello.go
```
