Try ‘bench frappe --help’ for help.

Hi @niraj_regmi,

Command is right but why does not apply :thinking:

Can you enter the site name on [sitename] like

bench --site sitename.com clear-cache
// here sitename.com is my site name.

If you haven’t checked then check the Bench Commands Cheatsheet.

Thank You!

it’s not the only problem with clear-cache apart from bench --help it is not recognizing other commands.

4

Please update the version and then check it.

bench update

Maybe resolve your issue.

Thank You!

5

this is in the production server so I cannot update it without taking permission from senior officer. This was working a day before suddenly this happens.
should I try bench setup requirement. Will it work?

Hi @niraj_regmi,

If needed then apply it.

bench setup requirements is a command used to install system-level dependencies required by the applications.

For More Information:
When you create a new Frappe app or install an existing app, it may have dependencies on certain libraries, packages, or system-level tools that need to be installed before the app can be used. These dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file of the app.

Running the bench setup requirements command installs these dependencies on the system. This command reads the requirements.txt file of the app and installs all the dependencies listed in the file.

Thank You!

Hi,

It may help to say the operating environment , versions of frappe and if this is a new installation or one that was working. Have you tried sudo pip3 install frappe-bench --upgrade ? It looks like your python3 version is 3.8, 3.10 is recommended.
