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-load-dir
125 Print debugging info about directory loading
126 --debug-store-digest-preimage
128 Store digest preimage for all computed digests, so that it's
129 possible to reverse them later, for debugging. The digests are
130 stored in the shared cache (see --cache flag) as values, even if
131 cache is otherwise disabled. This should be used only for
132 debugging, since it's slow and it litters the shared cache.
133 --default-target=TARGET (absent=@@default)
135 Set the default target that when none is specified to dune build.
136 --diff-command=VAL (absent DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND env)
138 Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the
139 diff.
140 --disable-promotion (absent DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION env)
142 Disable all promotion rules
143 --display=MODE
145 Control the display mode of Dune. See dune-config(5) for more
146 details. Valid values for this option are One of progress, verbose,
147 short or quiet
148 --dump-memo-graph=FILE
150 Dumps the dependency graph to a file after the build is complete
151 --dump-memo-graph-format=FORMAT (absent=gexf)
153 File format to be used when dumping dependency graph
154 --dump-memo-graph-with-timing
156 With --dump-memo-graph, will re-run each cached node in the Memo
157 graph after building and include the runtime in the output. Since
158 all nodes contain a cached value, this will measure just the
159 runtime of each node
160 --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
162 Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto,
163 pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain
164 whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.
165 --ignore-promoted-rules
167 Ignore rules with (mode promote), except ones with (only ...). The
168 variable %{ignoring_promoted_rules} in dune files reflects whether
169 this option was passed or not.
170 --instrument-with=BACKENDS (absent DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH env)
172 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
173 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
174 instrumentation backend.
175 -j JOBS
177 Run no more than JOBS commands simultaneously.
178 --no-buffer
180 Do not buffer the output of commands executed by dune. By default
181 dune buffers the output of subcommands, in order to prevent
182 interleaving when multiple commands are executed in parallel.
183 However, this can be an issue when debugging long running tests.
184 With --no-buffer, commands have direct access to the terminal. Note
185 that as a result their output won't be captured in the log file.
186 You should use this option in conjunction with -j 1, to avoid
187 interleaving. Additionally you should use --verbose as well, to
188 make sure that commands are printed before they are being executed.
189 --no-config
191 Do not load the configuration file
192 --no-print-directory
194 Suppress "Entering directory" messages
195 --only-packages=PACKAGES
197 Ignore stanzas referring to a package that is not in PACKAGES.
198 PACKAGES is a comma-separated list of package names. Note that this
199 has the same effect as deleting the relevant stanzas from dune
200 files. It is mostly meant for releases. During development, it is
201 likely that what you want instead is to build a particular
202 <package>.install target.
203 -p PACKAGES, --for-release-of-packages=PACKAGES (required)
205 Shorthand for --release --only-packages PACKAGE. You must use this
206 option in your <package>.opam files, in order to build only what's
207 necessary when your project contains multiple packages as well as
208 getting reproducible builds.
209 --print-metrics
211 Print out various performance metrics after every build
212 --profile=VAL (absent DUNE_PROFILE env)
214 Select the build profile, for instance dev or release. The default
215 is dev.
216 --promote-install-files[=VAL] (default=true)
218 Promote the generated <package>.install files to the source tree
219 --release
221 Put dune into a reproducible release mode. This is in fact a
222 shorthand for --root . --ignore-promoted-rules --no-config
223 --profile release --always-show-command-line
224 --promote-install-files --default-target @install
225 --require-dune-project-file. You should use this option for release
226 builds. For instance, you must use this option in your
227 <package>.opam files. Except if you already use -p, as -p implies
228 this option.
229 --require-dune-project-file[=VAL] (default=true)
231 Fail if a dune-project file is missing.
232 --root=DIR
234 Use this directory as workspace root instead of guessing it. Note
235 that this option doesn't change the interpretation of targets given
236 on the command line. It is only intended for scripts.
237 --store-orig-source-dir (absent DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env)
239 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
240 --terminal-persistence=MODE
242 Changes how the log of build results are displayed to the console
243 between rebuilds while in --watch mode. Supported modes: preserve,
244 clear-on-rebuild, clear-on-rebuild-and-flush-history.
245 --trace-file=FILE
247 Output trace data in catapult format (compatible with
248 chrome://tracing)
249 --verbose
251 Same as --display verbose
252 --version
254 Show version information.
255 --workspace=FILE (absent DUNE_WORKSPACE env)
257 Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.
258 -x VAL
260 Cross-compile using this toolchain.
261
263 Use `dune COMMAND --help' for help on a single command.
264
266 clean exits with the following status:
267 0 on success.
269 123 on indiscriminate errors reported on standard error.
271 124 on command line parsing errors.
273 125 on unexpected internal errors (bugs).
275
277 These environment variables affect the execution of clean:
278 DUNE_BUILD_DIR
280 Specified build directory. _build if unspecified
281 DUNE_CACHE
283 Enable or disable Dune cache (either enabled or disabled). Default
284 is `disabled'.
285 DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY
287 Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules
288 and comparing their results with those stored in Dune cache. Note:
289 by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the
290 build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.
291 DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE
293 Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is
294 `auto'.
295 DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND
297 Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the
298 diff.
299 DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION
301 Disable all promotion rules
302 DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH
304 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
305 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
306 instrumentation backend.
307 DUNE_PROFILE
309 Build profile. dev if unspecified or release if -p is set.
310 DUNE_SANDBOX
312 Sandboxing mode to use by default. (see --sandbox)
313 DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR
315 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
316 DUNE_WORKSPACE
318 Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.
