/maintenance/purgeList.php doesn't do anything

I'm currently setting up templates on my wiki resulting in lots of dependency chains, and I can't be bothered purging each of them individually. So I tried running php7.3-cli /maintenance/purgeList.php --all which returns "Done", but if I refresh the pages (while making sure to empty the browser cache!), they're not actually purged.

Adding --verbose makes it dutifully spit out a list of all pages on my wiki, so it seems like the script THINKS it's doing something, but it clearly isn't.

Could this be a permissions issue?

Generally you would be better off just running runJobs.php or setting up your job queue better.


purgeList purges varnish/squid cache, which you don't have set up, so it does nothing. You can try using the --db-touch option which will do more of what you want, but again i would suggest just runJobs.php
