How do I clear kotlinc scripts cache?

[mbonnin]

According to https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-script-examples/blob/master/jvm/main-kts/MainKts.md#caching it's $TEMP/main.kts.compiled.cache

[mbonnin]

(but my TEMP is empty 🤷 )

[mbonnin]

Ah found it! ~/Library/Caches/main.kts.compiled.cache/

I opened this for the next time I'll be looking for this: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-script-examples/pull/9/files

Thanks!

Can it be in a more accessible directory?, I am sharing scripts among multiple teams and OSs and having something similar to .gradle but .kotlin or kotlinc in the user home. Indeed thanks to @mbonnin I know where it is for macOS, but I have to search for it in Windows now.

I am trying to find this folder in GitHub Actions (Ubuntu) and I am not being able to cache it, I don't find the directory main.kts.compiled.cache

[Javier]

I tried to get that property directly and the only file inside of that temp directory is a README.md 🤷

Reposting the comment from the the issue:
Just as a possible workaround, the KOTLIN_MAIN_KTS_COMPILED_SCRIPTS_CACHE_DIR environment variable could be used to point out to the specific cache directory. The only limitation is that in this case, the directory should exist and be accessible for the host.
The same is possible with the JVM system property kotlin.main.kts.compiled.scripts.cache.dir.

Thank you! I will try it
