Feature Request: Add Asset Indexing as a cli action

[sergeifilippov]

It would be great to be able to run Asset Indexing via the craft cli.

Converting the indexing process to a Yii queue is pretty critical for any site with a sizeable amount of assets.

We've run into all sort of problems with indexing (latest being #2876 (comment)), which makes indexing basically a "cross your fingers" operation, that's nearly impossible to debug.

Is there a way to index assets from a migration script?

Not currently.

This works for me inside of a migration script for indexing assets on a specific volume:

        try {
            if ($volume = Craft::$app->getVolumes()->getVolumeByHandle('VOLUME_HANDLE')) {
                foreach (Craft::$app->getAssetIndexer()->getIndexListOnVolume($volume) as $item) {
                    Craft::$app->getAssetIndexer()->indexFile(
                        $volume,
                        $item['path'],
                        '',
                        false
                    );
                }

            } else {
                return false;
            }
            return true;

        } catch (\Throwable $e) {
            echo $e->getMessage();
            return false;
        }
