apify run --purge doesn't purge

[jirimoravcik]

apify run --purge doesn't purge, even tried with npx apify-cli@1.0.0-beta.42 run --purge

How to reproduce?
Run:

apify create
? Name of your new actor: purge-test
? Choose the programming language of your new actor: Python
? Choose a template for your new actor. Detailed information about the template will be shown in the next step. BeautifulSoup + HTTPX
? Do you want to install the following template?
 BeautifulSoup + HTTPX:

cd purge-test
apify run --purge

but now if you run the following command again:

apify run --purge

it won't scrape anything, because the purge didn't happen.

Hmm, does the python SDK purge by default? It should.

I don't think so. I am used to running apify run --purge.

Hmm, this was the old sdk v2 behavior, I don't recall if python SDK was released before or after crawlee, but we changed this with crawlee and SDK v3 - the storages are purged by default unless you opt-out of it via env var (which the CLI sets via --no-purge). Another thing we need to fix with the upcoming major versions.

cc @vladfrangu, we should add the explicit purging for python projects (to both 0.x and 1.0) as it will take some time for the python tooling to catch up.

Opened apify/crawlee-python#87 to track the change on python's end.

Fix for this is

• PR'd for cli@beta
• Released for stable (0.19.4) (because I tested it locally and indeed, it works now!)
