Hello everyone. Clear Directories during Development in Magento 2
While you’re developing Magento modules or themes, your rapidly changing environment requires you to periodically clear certain directories and caches. Otherwise, your code runs with exceptions and won’t function properly.
In this blog, I will show you some cases and you must clear the directory to make the code work.
Case 1:
Change a class if there is a plug-in related to it.
A change that results in generated factories or proxies (for example, a non-existent factory declared in a class or a proxy declared in di.xml)
Clear : var/di, var/generation
Case 2:
Change any di.xml
Clear : var/di, var/generation; also, run the code compiler again
Case 3:
Add, remove, enable, or disable modules
Clear: var/di, var/generation, var/cache, var/page_cache
Case 4:
Add or edit a layout or theme
Clear: var/view_preprocessed, var/cache, var/page_cache
Case 5:
Change LESS or templates
Clear: var/view_preprocessed, var/cache, var/page_cache
Case 6:
Add or edit a CMS page, cacheable block, or use the Magento Admin to change the configuration
Clear: var/cache, var/page_cache
Command line to clear:
rm -rf <your Magento install dir>/var/di/* <your Magento install dir>/var/generation/*
The steps I mention above is the shortest process for you to Clear Directories during Development in Magento 2.
