Hi guys, I’m new here. Just start with the pantsbuild. Might be a dump question, is that possible to delete a directory in pantsbuild? I can only find the

CreateDigest

a dump question sounds like the precursor to a shower thought 😂

There are no bad questions!

Yes! Plugins to generate something, but I need to cleanup that output directory before I start generating

That’s surprising, since typically you’d write into an output directory under the process sandbox, which is fresh every time and so should always be empty

I guess if we use output_directories in Process it can clear the directory automatically, but if we use output_files it will only write to those specific files?

Not quite.

output_directories

and

output_files

tell the Process where to gather outputs from when it finishes running and has to return outputs to the engine.
