Moodle in English -> General help -> How can we run via CLI the purge cache feature?

by Jerry Lau -

having problems trying to reinstall a plugin after an upgrade to our moodle to 3.6.5. and holding our upgrade up

Tool_ally is refusing to install and holding things up. I read that one possible solution is to purge all cache, but I am unable to get to that screen from the loop I’m caught up in. I usually get back to the installation screen with this URL, but that doesn’t help me in this particular case, since I need to try purging all cache.

How can we run via CLI the purge cache feature?

thanks

 Code should look like:

 $lock = $factory->get_lock(Resource id #1021);
 $lock->release();  // Locks must ALWAYS be released like this.

This maybe a caching result so I will purge the cache and see what happens tomorrow.. it only runs once a day... I've already deleted the contents in 5 temp folders before this happened so that is not the cause... #crossfingers

I tried to export it as CSV but the formatting does not render properly and the Word only shows part of the description (not fully list).
I want to go through the same test cases when we do an upgrade annually.
Thanks!
