conan workspace¶
Warning
This feature is part of the new incubating features. This means that it is under development, and looking for user testing and feedback. For more info see Incubating section.
The conan workspace command allows to open, add, and remove packages from the current workspace. Check the
conan workspace -h help and the help of the subcommands to check their usage.
$ conan workspace -h

Use these commands to add or remove editable packages to the current workspace. The conan workspace add <path>
folder must contain a conanfile.py. That path can be relative to your current workspace.
The conanws.py has a default implementation, but it is possible to override the default behavior:
conanws.py¶
import os
from conan import Workspace
class MyWorkspace(Workspace):
def name(self):
return "myws"
def add(self, ref, path, *args, **kwargs):
self.output.info(f"Adding {ref} at {path}")
super().add(ref, path, *args, **kwargs)
def remove(self, path, *args, **kwargs):
self.output.info(f"Removing {path}")
return super().remove(path, *args, **kwargs)
conan workspace info¶
$ conan workspace info -h

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FORMAT, --format FORMAT

--out-file OUT_FILE Write the output of the command to the specified file
instead of stdout.
-v [V] Level of detail of the output. Valid options from less
verbose to more verbose: -vquiet, -verror, -vwarning,
-vnotice, -vstatus, -v or -vverbose, -vv or -vdebug,
-vvv or -vtrace
-cc CORE_CONF, --core-conf CORE_CONF

values. E.g.: -cc core:non_interactive=True

$ cd myfolder
$ conan new workspace

WARN: Workspace found
WARN: Workspace is a dev-only feature, exclusively for testing

conan workspace clean¶
$ conan workspace clean -h
WARN: Downgrading cache from Conan 2.19.0 to 2.18.1
usage: conan workspace clean [-h] [--out-file OUT_FILE] [-v [V]]
[-cc CORE_CONF]

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--out-file OUT_FILE Write the output of the command to the specified file
instead of stdout.

-vvv or -vtrace
-cc CORE_CONF, --core-conf CORE_CONF
Define core configuration, overwriting global.conf
values. E.g.: -cc core:non_interactive=True
The new conan workspace clean command removes by default the output-folder of every package in the workspace if it was defined.
If it is not defined, it won’t remove anything by default, as removing files in user space is dangerous, and could destroy user changes or files.
It would be recommended that users manage that cleaning with git clean -xdf or similar strategies.
It is also possible to define a custom clean logic by implementing the clean() method:
class Ws(Workspace):
def name(self):
return "my_workspace"
def clean(self):
self.output.info("MY CLEAN!!!!")
conan workspace open¶
$ conan workspace open -h
WARN: Downgrading cache from Conan 2.19.0 to 2.18.1

positional arguments:
reference Open this package source repository
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--out-file OUT_FILE Write the output of the command to the specified file
instead of stdout.
-v [V] Level of detail of the output. Valid options from less

-r REMOTE, --remote REMOTE

-nr, --no-remote Do not use remote, resolve exclusively in the cache
The new conan workspace open command implements a new concept. The packages containing an scm information in
the conandata.yml (with git.coordinates_to_conandata()) can be automatically cloned and checkout inside the
current workspace from their Conan recipe reference (including recipe revision).

The command conan workspace create performs the equivalent of conan create <package-path> for every package
defined within the workspace in the correct order. They will be created in the Conan cache, not locally.

Install the workspace as a monolith, installing only external dependencies to
the workspace, generating a single result (generators, etc) for the whole
workspace.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--out-file OUT_FILE Write the output of the command to the specified file
instead of stdout.
-v [V] Level of detail of the output. Valid options from less
verbose to more verbose: -vquiet, -verror, -vwarning,
-vnotice, -vstatus, -v or -vverbose, -vv or -vdebug,
-vvv or -vtrace
-cc CORE_CONF, --core-conf CORE_CONF
Define core configuration, overwriting global.conf
values. E.g.: -cc core:non_interactive=True
--pkg PKG Define specific packages
-g GENERATOR, --generator GENERATOR
Generators to use
-of OUTPUT_FOLDER, --output-folder OUTPUT_FOLDER
The root output folder for generated and build files
--envs-generation {false}
Generation strategy for virtual environment files for
the root
-b BUILD, --build BUILD
Optional, specify which packages to build from source.
Combining multiple '--build' options on one command
line is allowed. Possible values: --build=never
Disallow build for all packages, use binary packages
or fail if a binary package is not found, it cannot be
combined with other '--build' options. --build=missing
Build packages from source whose binary package is not
found. --build=cascade Build packages from source that
have at least one dependency being built from source.
--build=[pattern] Build packages from source whose
package reference matches the pattern. The pattern
uses 'fnmatch' style wildcards, so '--build="*"' will
build everything from source. --build=~[pattern]
Excluded packages, which will not be built from the
source, whose package reference matches the pattern.
The pattern uses 'fnmatch' style wildcards.
--build=missing:[pattern] Build from source if a
compatible binary does not exist, only for packages
matching pattern. --build=compatible:[pattern]
(Experimental) Build from source if a compatible
binary does not exist, and the requested package is
invalid, the closest package binary following the
defined compatibility policies (method and
compatibility.py)
-r REMOTE, --remote REMOTE
Look in the specified remote or remotes server
-nr, --no-remote Do not use remote, resolve exclusively in the cache
-u [UPDATE], --update [UPDATE]
Will install newer versions and/or revisions in the
local cache for the given reference name, or all
references in the graph if no argument is supplied.
When using version ranges, it will install the latest
version that satisfies the range. It will update to
the latest revision for the resolved version range.
-pr PROFILE, --profile PROFILE
Apply the specified profile. By default, or if
specifying -pr:h (--profile:host), it applies to the
host context. Use -pr:b (--profile:build) to specify
the build context, or -pr:a (--profile:all) to specify
both contexts at once
-pr:b PROFILE_BUILD, --profile:build PROFILE_BUILD
-pr:h PROFILE_HOST, --profile:host PROFILE_HOST
-pr:a PROFILE_ALL, --profile:all PROFILE_ALL
-o OPTIONS, --options OPTIONS
Apply the specified options. By default, or if
specifying -o:h (--options:host), it applies to the
host context. Use -o:b (--options:build) to specify
the build context, or -o:a (--options:all) to specify
both contexts at once. Example:
-o="pkg/*:with_qt=True"
-o:b OPTIONS_BUILD, --options:build OPTIONS_BUILD
-o:h OPTIONS_HOST, --options:host OPTIONS_HOST
-o:a OPTIONS_ALL, --options:all OPTIONS_ALL
-s SETTINGS, --settings SETTINGS
Apply the specified settings. By default, or if
specifying -s:h (--settings:host), it applies to the
host context. Use -s:b (--settings:build) to specify
the build context, or -s:a (--settings:all) to specify
both contexts at once. Example: -s="compiler=gcc"
-s:b SETTINGS_BUILD, --settings:build SETTINGS_BUILD
-s:h SETTINGS_HOST, --settings:host SETTINGS_HOST
-s:a SETTINGS_ALL, --settings:all SETTINGS_ALL
-c CONF, --conf CONF Apply the specified conf. By default, or if specifying
-c:h (--conf:host), it applies to the host context.
Use -c:b (--conf:build) to specify the build context,
or -c:a (--conf:all) to specify both contexts at once.
Example:
-c="tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Xcode"
-c:b CONF_BUILD, --conf:build CONF_BUILD
-c:h CONF_HOST, --conf:host CONF_HOST
-c:a CONF_ALL, --conf:all CONF_ALL
-l LOCKFILE, --lockfile LOCKFILE
Path to a lockfile. Use --lockfile="" to avoid
automatic use of existing 'conan.lock' file
--lockfile-partial Do not raise an error if some dependency is not found
in lockfile
--lockfile-out LOCKFILE_OUT
Filename of the updated lockfile
--lockfile-clean Remove unused entries from the lockfile
--lockfile-overrides LOCKFILE_OVERRIDES
Overwrite lockfile overrides
The command conan workspace super-install is useful to install and build the current workspace
as a monolithic super-project of the editables.
By default it uses all the editable packages in the workspace. It is possible to select
only a subset of them with the conan workspace install <folder1> .. <folderN> optional
arguments. Only the subgraph of those packages, including their dependencies and transitive
dependencies will be installed.
