Rebuild Index for This Project

Rebuild Index for This Project

Walks a project's .dproj compile closure and (re)builds its index. Reach for it after adding or moving units, or when hover, Find Usages, or lint results feel stale.

Running it from the CLI

drag-lint index --project <file.dproj> [--db <file.sqlite>] [--dry-run] [--watch [--interval N]]

--dry-run previews without writing; --watch [--interval N] keeps re-indexing on an interval. Mode is chosen per run: --recompile (default) updates the index in place; --rebuild first empties it of source, then walks (implies --force-reparse). --force-reparse (alias --no-skip) re-parses every walked file even when unchanged. --prune forces the delete-sweep for a single-file walk; --no-prune computes and reports what would be removed without deleting anything.

Reaching it in the IDE

drag-lint > Index & Maintenance > Rebuild Index for This Project

What it needs

The --db flag is optional -- drag-lint auto-resolves the project's index when omitted. An index must still exist.

Example

Illustrative only:

drag-lint index --project C:\Projects\MyApp\MyApp.dproj --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqlite

This would re-index MyApp's compile closure in place (default recompile mode).
