Shouldn't default-repo be applied to cacheFrom directives?

I'm trying very hard to optimize my DotNet multi-stage build process.

To do that I'm creating three profiles that I must execute in sequence.

Profile 1 - Base images Profile 2 - Dependency Builder Profile 3 - Final builder

The idea is to use caching and don't rebuild the whole system every time, and build in parallel things that are not dependent on others.

For each step, I want to use a previous image in cache or the image build in the latest profile. So was trying to use cacheFrom when I stumbled into that.

I use the --default-repo to set the image according to the branch, in runtime, and I expected the cache image to be pulled from my default repo, but It doesn't seem to be.

Additional

• I would like to be able to use templating in the cacheFrom directive, so I can use the previous image and not necessarly the one tagged as latest.

Expected behavior

If default-repo is specified, cacheFrom images without full path should be rewriten if not fully qualified.

Actual behavior

Skaffold says the image could not be found.
