How do I "clean' build when building addressables?

Howdy,

When building addressables through the Addressables Groups window, you can clean build data using Build → Clean Build → All. This allows us to clean the local addressables data before building for a ‘clean’ addressables build.

I haven’t found the addressables API to replicate this behavior when building addressables via script. How should I go about this?

Thanks in advance!

You can find the APIs here.

Update:
The link has been moved to https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@1.21/manual/ContinuousIntegration.html.

Thank you very much!

Just in case the URL breaks in the future, I’ll summarize the answer here:

  • In order to clear the addressables content builder cache, you should use the following line (assuming you’re using the default data builder or have set your custom one already):
    AddressableAssetSettingsDefaultObject.Settings.ActivePlayerDataBuilder.ClearCachedData();

  • In order to clear the scriptable build pipeline cache, you should use the following line (assuming you want to avoid opening a prompt window because this is for a CI flow):
    BuildCache.PurgeCache(false);
