Commands

Run commands from the application directory. Load the Cache plugin first.

bin/cake page_cache status
bin/cake page_cache status '/pages/home?lang=en'
bin/cake page_cache clear '/pages/home?lang=en'
bin/cake page_cache clear

Quote URLs containing query strings so the shell does not interpret them. Commands use global CacheConfig values. Controller-only engine, prefix, or key settings can make their entries inaccessible to these commands; configure shared settings globally.

status lists file-cache statistics or reports the configured engine. With a URL, it reports that entry's metadata when present. clear without a URL clears the view-cache directory, or calls clear on the configured engine. Use a dedicated engine configuration if clearing unrelated cache entries would be a problem.

Clear-all asks for confirmation, with y as the default. Answer the prompt when running interactively or supply input explicitly in an automation.
