flutter build clean doesn't work #8656
Description
I am starting with a clean workspace:
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery> git clean -xfd
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery>I am running flutter build apk:
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery> flutter build apk
Running 'flutter packages get' in flutter_gallery... 7.0s
Running 'gradle assembleRelease'...
Building AOT snapshot in release mode (android-arm-release)... 15.5s
Built to C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery\android\app\build\intermediates\flutter\release\.
Built app-release.apk (17.8MB).
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery>This creates a whole bunch of build artifacts in all kinds of places:
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery> git clean -xfd --dry-run
Would remove .packages
Would remove android/.gradle/
Would remove android/app/build/
Would remove android/build/
Would remove android/local.properties
Would remove pubspec.lock
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery>None of these are removed by flutter build clean (the build directory it claims to delete never existed):
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery> flutter build clean
Deleting 'build\'.
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery> git clean -xfd --dry-run
Would remove .packages
Would remove android/.gradle/
Would remove android/app/build/
Would remove android/build/
Would remove android/local.properties
Would remove pubspec.lock
C:\src\flutter\examples\flutter_gallery>I have two issues with this:
flutter build cleanshould work as advertised and delete all build artifacts- It would be nice if build artifacts were contained in a single directory, that is safe to delete by hand
