What does REBUILD.PHP do with files?

[Jakub]

Hello, I would like to setup CI in GITLAB and there are a lot of changed files which I didn't update by myself. What do the rebuild.php? Is there some account ID, permitions sets? Or do it write to files as well?

I'm not a programmer so I don't know what it do exactly, you can probably start digging from reading the file here:

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...er/rebuild.php

It look like it run a couple of other file:

include "bootstrap.php";

use Espo\Core\{

Application,

ApplicationRunners\Rebuild,

Personally, as a "GUI" only user, for me rebuild (1) delete all cache file, (2) re-check all custom folder/file that was created and (3) create a new index with these file to be use in EspoCRM.

I think this can help answering your questions https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...anager.php#L98

And a copy/paste in case someone search on the forum:

public function rebuild(?array $entityList = null): void
{
$this->clearCache();

$this->disableHooks();

$this->populateConfigParameters();

$this->rebuildMetadata();

$this->rebuildDatabase($entityList);

$this->rebuildScheduledJobs();

$this->enableHooks();
}

Thank you, I am not developer, so when I dig in $this->rebuildMetadata(); I do not know if there is also some file write functtions
