Kolibri command line

Support

Hello,

As explained in the documentation Working with Kolibri from the Command Line — Kolibri User Guide, I’m installing new content from command line
kolibri manage importchannel network a9b25ac9814742c883ce1b0579448337
kolibri manage importcontent network a9b25ac9814742c883ce1b0579448337

Everything is working fine, however, I can not delete channel and content through the same command line

CommandError: Channel matching id 0a3446937e3340fa86e6010ba80e16e1 does not exist

Content is not removed from database and storage folder and still shown in Kolibri

How to proceed ?

Thanks

Hey there Florian!

I looked at your logs and I see that you tried:

/opt/venv/bin/kolibri manage deletecontent 0a3446937e3340fa86e6010ba80e16e1

The command you used is deletecontent which is a good guess since the documentation doesn’t mention that the command you’ll want to use is deletechannel like:

/opt/venv/bin/kolibri manage deletechannel 0a3446937e3340fa86e6010ba80e16e1

and that ought to do it! Please let me know if you run into issues with that command.

Best,
Jacob

Thanks, it indeed fixed the issue. I thought that I had to use deletecontent to delete permanently the content.
I found theses command from the CLI, that was missing on documentation.

Best,
Florian
