Does

pants

have a

clean

equivalent? Specifically looking to clean: • The cache • Previously leaked tempdirs used for debugging

it does not. the cache is garbage collected to a target size by

pantsd

(although it won’t shrink below a high water mark)

but https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/11167 covers adding an explicit goal for managing caches

are you looking to clear the cache due to a bug, or for space savings?

I want to do cold-cache/warm-cache comparisons

Any thoughts on the leaked tempdirs?

I usually nuke those manually, but we should probably give them their own namespace under your tmpdir so it's easier to find them

yea. they’re namespaced with a prefix, but not under a directory

Are y'all open to a feature request / PR that puts them in a named subdirectory?

I've started this effort. I'll need some hand-holding for some of the pieces. The

pants

code is still very mystical to me 🙂

The rules model is very powerful but takes a little getting used to

Although in this case I think you won't need to know much about that
