How to handle error in multiple commands inside cache step?

[yh-sb]

Let's say I have the following entry in GitHub Actions:

      - name: Cache some heavy library
        uses: actions/cache@v3
        id: cache
        with:
          key: ${{ runner.OS }}-cache-${{ hashFiles('.github/workflows/build.yml') }}
          path: C:/mylib

      - name: Build some heavy library (if cache not found)
        if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
        run: |
          curl.exe -L https://some-link.com/to-the-library-src -o src-lib.zip
          tar -xf src-lib.zip -C C:\mylib
          command-1
          command-2
          command-3

I found that if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' line makes the step run even if some of its command fails. This leads to massive time wasted on running the next commands even if some of them already failed. continue-on-error: false doesn't help in this case.

How do you handle it in an elegant way?
