Clear Cache on “master” Branch Commit

    Hello,

    I work in Bitbucket for all my code needs and am wondering if this is possible. I would like to flush the cache after a pull request is merged in to “master” or a commit is sent to “master”. I came up with a simple little hack that should work, but I would like to check here first before trying it.

    1. Create a page named Clear Cache.
    2. Change the permalink to something long and annoying like this.
    clear-cache-fkrkvhvkfddkksd58887722200023658deressffkckvo
    3. Use this custom page template and assign it to the page created in step 1.
    https://bitbucket.org/snippets/the-news-triangle/AjXeA
    4. In Bitbucket Pipelines after deploy to FTP, add another line of code to call a shell script. Inside the shell script, tell it to open the page created.
    https://domain.com/clear-cache-fkrkvhvkfddkksd58887722200023658deressffkckvo

    Because the page template is attached, the cache should be cleared. Then I can use .htaccess to restrict the file to hosts/IPs for Bitbucket.

    Would this work? Seems good on paper, but not sure what would happen when trying it. Alternatively, I could use a shell script to SSH to server and execute a WP_CLI command to clear the cache.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    I will add a WP-CLI command to purge the cache in the next update. That would be the cleaner way to do it and it will be used in many other cases.

    Thank you Hristo, this would be indeed very useful!

    Will you also expose a PHP function to do so from the command line, please?

    Hello,

    I don’t know if I can run WP_CLI commands from Bitbucket Pipelines. If I was guessing, I would say “no” without additional configuration in Bitbucket. A command would certainly be nice that way it could be executed from SSH.

    Thanks.

    It’s just a regular ssh command, I don’t see why you shouldn’t use it. I’ve already commited it in GitHUB and we’re testing the new version out. You can download the master branch and give it a try if you want:

    currently, the command is

    wp sgpurge

    but I will rename it for the official update to wp sg purge because I will be adding some more commands later on.

    Version 3.3.0 is now up and the WP-CLI command is introduced in it:

    wp sg purge

    You can trigger it through your scripts after you update the plugin.
