9 dune clean [OPTION]…
10
12 Removes files added by dune such as _build, <package>.install, and
13 .merlin
14
16 --action-stderr-on-success=VAL
17 Same as --action-stdout-on-success but for the standard output for
18 error messages. A good default for large mono-repositories is
19 --action-stdout-on-success=swallow
20 --action-stderr-on-success=must-be-empty. This ensures that a
21 successful build has a "clean" empty output.
22 --action-stdout-on-success=VAL
24 Specify how to deal with the standard output of actions when they
25 succeed. Possible values are: print to just print it to Dune's
26 output, swallow to completely ignore it and must-be-empty to
27 enforce that the action printed nothing. With must-be-empty, Dune
28 will consider that the action failed if it printed something to its
29 standard output. The default is print.
30 --build-info
32 Show build information.
33 --error-reporting=VAL (absent=deterministic)
35 Controls when the build errors are reported. early - report errors
36 as soon as they are discovered. deterministic - report errors at
37 the end of the build in a deterministic order. twice - report each
38 error twice: once as soon as the error is discovered and then again
39 at the end of the build, in a deterministic order.
40 -f, --force
42 Force actions associated to aliases to be re-executed even if their
43 dependencies haven't changed.
44 --file-watcher=VAL (absent=automatic)
46 Mechanism to detect changes in the source. Automatic to make dune
47 run an external program to detect changes. Manual to notify dune
48 that files have changed manually."
49 --passive-watch-mode
51 Similar to [--watch], but only start a build when instructed
52 externally by an RPC.
53 --react-to-insignificant-changes
55 react to insignificant file system changes; this is only useful for
56 benchmarking dune
57 --sandbox=VAL (absent DUNE_SANDBOX env)
59 Sandboxing mode to use by default. Some actions require a certain
60 sandboxing mode, so they will ignore this setting. The allowed
61 values are: none, symlink, copy, hardlink.
62 -w, --watch
64 Instead of terminating build after completion, wait continuously
65 for file changes.
66 --wait-for-filesystem-clock
68 Dune digest file contents for better incrementally. These digests
69 are themselves cached. In some cases, Dune needs to drop some
70 digest cache entries in order for things to be reliable. This
71 option makes Dune wait for the file system clock to advance so that
72 it doesn't need to drop anything. You should probably not care
73 about this option; it is mostly useful for Dune developers to make
74 Dune tests of the digest cache more reproducible.
75
77 These options are common to all commands.
78 --always-show-command-line
80 Always show the full command lines of programs executed by dune
81 --auto-promote
83 Automatically promote files. This is similar to running dune
84 promote after the build.
85 --build-dir=FILE (absent DUNE_BUILD_DIR env)
87 Specified build directory. _build if unspecified
88 --cache=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE env)
90 Enable or disable Dune cache (either enabled or disabled). Default
91 is `disabled'.
92 --cache-check-probability=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY env)
94 Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules
95 and comparing their results with those stored in Dune cache. Note:
96 by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the
97 build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.
98 --cache-storage-mode=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE env)
100 Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is
101 `auto'.
102 --config-file=FILE
104 Load this configuration file instead of the default one.
105 --debug-artifact-substitution
107 Print debugging info about artifact substitution
108 --debug-backtraces
110 Always print exception backtraces.
111 --debug-cache=VAL
113 Show debug messages on cache misses for the given cache layers.
114 Value is a comma-separated list of cache layer names. All available
115 cache layers: shared,workspace-local,fs.
116 --debug-dependency-path
118 In case of error, print the dependency path from the targets on the
119 command line to the rule that failed.
120 --debug-digests
122 Explain why Dune decides to re-digest some files
123 --debug-findlib
125 Debug the findlib sub-system.
126 --debug-load-dir
128 Print debugging info about directory loading
129 --debug-store-digest-preimage
131 Store digest preimage for all computed digests, so that it's
132 possible to reverse them later, for debugging. The digests are
133 stored in the shared cache (see --cache flag) as values, even if
134 cache is otherwise disabled. This should be used only for
135 debugging, since it's slow and it litters the shared cache.
136 --default-target=TARGET (absent=@@default)
138 Set the default target that when none is specified to dune build.
139 --diff-command=VAL (absent DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND env)
141 Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the
142 diff.
143 --disable-promotion (absent DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION env)
145 Disable all promotion rules
146 --display=MODE
148 Control the display mode of Dune. See dune-config(5) for more
149 details.
150 --dump-memo-graph=FILE
152 Dumps the dependency graph to a file after the build is complete
153 --dump-memo-graph-format=FORMAT (absent=gexf)
155 File format to be used when dumping dependency graph
156 --dump-memo-graph-with-timing
158 With --dump-memo-graph, will re-run each cached node in the Memo
159 graph after building and include the runtime in the output. Since
160 all nodes contain a cached value, this will measure just the
161 runtime of each node
162 --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
164 Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto,
165 pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain
166 whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.
167 --ignore-promoted-rules
169 Ignore rules with (mode promote), except ones with (only ...). The
170 variable %{ignoring_promoted_rules} in dune files reflects whether
171 this option was passed or not.
172 --instrument-with=BACKENDS (absent DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH env)
174 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
175 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
176 instrumentation backend.
177 -j JOBS
179 Run no more than JOBS commands simultaneously.
180 --no-buffer
182 Do not buffer the output of commands executed by dune. By default
183 dune buffers the output of subcommands, in order to prevent
184 interleaving when multiple commands are executed in parallel.
185 However, this can be an issue when debugging long running tests.
186 With --no-buffer, commands have direct access to the terminal. Note
187 that as a result their output won't be captured in the log file.
188 You should use this option in conjunction with -j 1, to avoid
189 interleaving. Additionally you should use --verbose as well, to
190 make sure that commands are printed before they are being executed.
191 --no-config
193 Do not load the configuration file
194 --no-print-directory
196 Suppress "Entering directory" messages
197 --only-packages=PACKAGES
199 Ignore stanzas referring to a package that is not in PACKAGES.
200 PACKAGES is a comma-separated list of package names. Note that this
201 has the same effect as deleting the relevant stanzas from dune
202 files. It is mostly meant for releases. During development, it is
203 likely that what you want instead is to build a particular
204 <package>.install target.
205 -p PACKAGES, --for-release-of-packages=PACKAGES (required)
207 Shorthand for --release --only-packages PACKAGE. You must use this
208 option in your <package>.opam files, in order to build only what's
209 necessary when your project contains multiple packages as well as
210 getting reproducible builds.
211 --print-metrics
213 Print out various performance metrics after every build
214 --profile=VAL (absent DUNE_PROFILE env)
216 Select the build profile, for instance dev or release. The default
217 is dev.
218 --promote-install-files[=VAL] (default=true)
220 Promote the generated <package>.install files to the source tree
221 --release
223 Put dune into a reproducible release mode. This is in fact a
224 shorthand for --root . --ignore-promoted-rules --no-config
225 --profile release --always-show-command-line
226 --promote-install-files --default-target @install
227 --require-dune-project-file. You should use this option for release
228 builds. For instance, you must use this option in your
229 <package>.opam files. Except if you already use -p, as -p implies
230 this option.
231 --require-dune-project-file[=VAL] (default=true)
233 Fail if a dune-project file is missing.
234 --root=DIR
236 Use this directory as workspace root instead of guessing it. Note
237 that this option doesn't change the interpretation of targets given
238 on the command line. It is only intended for scripts.
239 --store-orig-source-dir (absent DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env)
241 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
242 --terminal-persistence=MODE
244 Changes how the log of build results are displayed to the console
245 between rebuilds while in --watch mode. Supported modes: preserve,
246 clear-on-rebuild, clear-on-rebuild-and-flush-history.
247 --trace-file=FILE
249 Output trace data in catapult format (compatible with
250 chrome://tracing)
251 --verbose
253 Same as --display verbose
254 --version
256 Show version information.
257 --workspace=FILE (absent DUNE_WORKSPACE env)
259 Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.
260 -x VAL
262 Cross-compile using this toolchain.
263
265 Use `dune COMMAND --help' for help on a single command.
266
268 clean exits with the following status:
269 0 on success.
271 123 on indiscriminate errors reported on standard error.
273 124 on command line parsing errors.
275 125 on unexpected internal errors (bugs).
277
279 These environment variables affect the execution of clean:
280 DUNE_BUILD_DIR
282 Specified build directory. _build if unspecified
283 DUNE_CACHE
285 Enable or disable Dune cache (either enabled or disabled). Default
286 is `disabled'.
287 DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY
289 Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules
290 and comparing their results with those stored in Dune cache. Note:
291 by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the
292 build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.
293 DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE
295 Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is
296 `auto'.
297 DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND
299 Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the
300 diff.
301 DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION
303 Disable all promotion rules
304 DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH
306 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
307 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
308 instrumentation backend.
309 DUNE_PROFILE
311 Build profile. dev if unspecified or release if -p is set.
312 DUNE_SANDBOX
314 Sandboxing mode to use by default. (see --sandbox)
315 DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR
317 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
318 DUNE_WORKSPACE
320 Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.
