How can I clean the build cache?

[thomaszdxsn]

Same issue in Next.js.

Resolved by delete node_modules and reinstall.

But dont work in vercel deployment, because it use the build cache.

How to clean build cache?

Hi @thomaszdxsn

If you're deploying using the git integration, you can click the "Redeploy" button.

• Visit the Dashboard
• Click the deployment
• Click the three dots icon next to the "Visit" button
• Click "Redeploy"

If you deploy with Vercel CLI you can use vercel --force flag.

Is there a way to not cache deployments in the first place? It keeps creating failed builds..

You can manually force a clean deployment, did you notice?

I noticed, I just wish there was a way I could manually clean that cache, so it generates a new one

hey, jumping into the conversation => is there a way to clear the build cache using the REST API ?

[styfle]

Yes, add ?forceNew=1

Hey, you can also set this env variable VERCEL_FORCE_NO_BUILD_CACHE=1, as it says on vercel docs:
