Proposal: docusaurus clear command

[slorber]

🚀 Feature

Having a clear command can be helpful, because sometimes errors are related to caching.

I think this clear command could just be a shortcut for:

rm -rf .docusaurus
rm -rf build
rm -rf node_modules/.cache/cache-loader

We should recommend users to try this command before reporting bugs, and also after upgrading Docusaurus version.

Hi @slorber, I would like to work on this. I suppose the idea is to have a "yarn clear", am I right?

[abadon7]

@slorber, I already see in package.json a "clear" command: "clear": "yarn rimraf website/.docusaurus && rimraf -rf website/node_modules/.cache && yarn lerna exec 'yarn rimraf lib' --ignore docusaurus"
The only thing that I see missing is the rm -rf build. Please guide me and let me know what you have in mind. Thanks.

Hi

This clear command is for our own repo. What we must provide is a cli for all repos, should be added to packages/docusaurus using commander

Hi.

😅 Thanks. Now I get it. I haven't worked with commander yet, but I think I can do it with some of help.
