Delete local data generated by Google App Engine's dev_appserver.py

Question

I run my application locally using dev_appserver.py

using the following command

dev_appserver.py mydir --port=xxxx

Is there a way to delete all the local data generated by app engine server.

Currently, I go to localhost:8000/datastore, and delete entity groups manually.

IS there a way to automate it
Where does dev_appserver.py write local data to? (File or directory? may be in can delete that)

Yes there is!

dev_appserver.py accepts some arguments that clears things before it starts up. Two arguments that I use consistently are:

dev_appserver.py --clear_datastore=true --clear_search_indexes=true ...

dev_appserver.py --help can probably give you more information about other things that you may want to clear -- But this always gets everything I need it too.

Note `dev_appserver.py` must be worked on folder containing `app.ymal` – asdf_enel_hak Mar 01 '19 at 08:52
