jira cache clear

  • Usage: jira cache clear [resource] [flags]

Remove local cache files for the active profile. Use it when cached metadata is stale, malformed, or should be rebuilt on the next command.

With no argument, the command removes every cache file under the profile. With a resource name such as labels, projects, or boards, it removes only that cache file.

--dry-run reports what a live clear would remove without touching the files. A live clear requires --force in headless, agent, or --no-input mode; an interactive terminal proceeds without a prompt — the wipe is recoverable by re-priming.

Safety

--dry-run

Report what would be removed without removing anything

--force

Confirm the clear in headless / agent / --no-input mode

Output fields

With --output json, the response envelope's data object carries these fields. Run jira agent schema for the full machine-readable schema.

profile string
removed integer | boolean File count on a whole-profile clear; whether the file existed on a single-resource clear. Under --dry-run, what a live clear would remove.
