Info output
Warning
This is an experimental feature subject to breaking changes in future releases.
The conan info provides a --json parameter to generate a file containing the output of the command.
There are several possible outputs depending on other arguments:
Build order
Warning
The command conan info --build-order is deprecated in favor of conan graph build-order.
The build order printed with the argument --build-order can be formatted as JSON. It will show a list of lists where the references inside each nested one can be built in parallel.
{
"groups":[
[
"LibA/0.1@lasote/stable",
"LibE/0.1@lasote/stable",
"LibF/0.1@lasote/stable"
],
[
"LibB/0.1@lasote/stable",
"LibC/0.1@lasote/stable"
]
]
}
Nodes to build
When called with the argument --build it will retrieve the list of nodes to be built according to the build policy. Output will be just a list of references.
[
"H0/0.1@lu/st",
"H1a/0.1@lu/st",
"H1c/0.1@lu/st",
"H2a/0.1@lu/st",
"H2c/0.1@lu/st"
]
Info output
The output of a conan info call over a reference or a path gives information about all the nodes involved in its build graph; the generated JSON file will contain a list with the information for each of the nodes.
