Is there some recommendations about managing pants cache? I have my

~/.cache/pants

getting 40GB right now and I'll run out of space soon. I could just

rm -rf .cache/pants

I guess, but I was wondering if there is a command or something to trim old stuff or anything.

It's for CI, but I think it's also useful for local systems: https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/using-pants-in-ci#directories-to-cache

good old

rm -rf

🙂

40GB!!! Can I ask which backends you're using or what you're doing with that? I use pants in multiple projects daily, and I'm at 2GB (cleared it out a week or two ago, while I was doing some backend development work)

named_caches

contains the

pex_root

which contains installed packages, which can get HUGE 🙂

we certainly have a relatively large amount of dependencies but all are below 250MB (otherwise, Lambda would barf 🙂 ). My cache was actually 20GB, I had a

.cache/pants.old

directory that was also 20GB ^^
