Steps to reproduce

1) Navigate to: https://help.thefoundry.co.uk/mari/#user_guide/extending_mari/environment_variables.html?Highlight=mari_cache 

The location(s) of the Mari project files. This can be just one directory or several (to make caching faster). You should separate multiple path entries by a : (colon) on Linux and Mac, or a ; (semi-colon) on Windows.



Expected behaviour
We do not recommend using multiple Cache directories as this would lower performance.
