PacletDataRebuild
rescans all the installed paclets to rebuild the internal cache of paclet data.
Details and Options
- PacletDataRebuild is only needed in cases where you have manually modified the contents of an installed paclet.
- Paclet functions like PacletInstall, PacletUninstall and PacletDirectoryLoad automatically keep paclet cache information up to date.
- Examples of when you need to call PacletDataRebuild are if you have hand-copied a paclet into $UserBasePacletsDirectory, or if you are developing a paclet in the current session and have changed its contents or its PacletInfo.wl file.
