is there a commandbox command to remove unused packages? (unused meaning not found in box.json)

That is a good question. I didn't see one but if you need to, just delete the modules folder and do an install. Everything will get installed again.

Thats what I did. Just interested though

One thing you can do is create a script and put in

box.json

. Something like:

"scripts":{
        "cleanInstall":"delete modules --force --recurse;install"
    }

You can then run it from CommandBox as:

run-script cleanInstall

This will delete the modules folder and then install everything

Gotcha. Im playing around with automated deployments which is why im asking

depending on your setup, the deploy script can take care of deleting the directory, then just do an install. There are probably nicer ways to handle that depending on what you are trying to do. If you are always pulling a fresh container, then it shouldn't matter. If just updating a directory on the server, you can run that command

delete modules --force --recurse;install

and just have it take care of it for you.

@Ryan Albrecht Generally speaking, the answer is no.

@bdw429s thanks for the info. Normally I just delete the modules folder
