conan imports
$ conan imports [-h] [-if INSTALL_FOLDER] [-imf IMPORT_FOLDER] [-u] path
Calls your local conanfile.py or conanfile.txt ‘imports’ method.
It requires to have been previously installed and have a conanbuildinfo.txt generated file in the –install-folder (defaulted to the current directory).
positional arguments:
path Path to a folder containing a conanfile.py or to a
recipe file e.g., my_folder/conanfile.py With --undo
option, this parameter is the folder containing the
conan_imports_manifest.txt file generated in a
previous execution. e.g.: conan imports
./imported_files --undo
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-if INSTALL_FOLDER, --install-folder INSTALL_FOLDER
Directory containing the conaninfo.txt and
conanbuildinfo.txt files (from previous 'conan
install'). Defaulted to --build-folder
-imf IMPORT_FOLDER, --import-folder IMPORT_FOLDER
Directory to copy the artifacts to. By default it will
be the current directory
-u, --undo Undo imports. Remove imported files
The imports()
method might use settings, options and environment variables from the
specified profile and dependencies information from the declared deps_XXX_info
objects in the
conanfile requirements.
All that information is saved automatically in the conaninfo.txt and conanbuildinfo.txt files respectively, when you run conan install. Those files have to be located in the specified --install-folder.
Examples
Import files from a current conanfile in current directory:
$ conan install . --no-imports # Creates the conanbuildinfo.txt $ conan imports .
Remove the copied files (undo the import):
$ conan imports . --undo
