What is the gradle task to clear all modules in a MarkLogic database?

I have tried mlClearDatabase, but it didn't work.

mlClearDatabase will clear the content database.

The task that you are looking for to clear the modules database is:

mlClearModulesDatabase - if the application exists, clear its modules database; otherwise do nothing

If you are clearing the modules in order to ensure that you are deploying to a fresh modules database, then you might want to use mlReloadModules, which will invoke mlClearModules and then mlLoadModules.

mlClearModulesDatabase

gradle doesn't gurantee complete Modules database cleanup if other App server has dependency on that Modules database

mlClearDatabase -Pdatabase={db-name} -Pconfirm=true

gradle will clear the said database in force mode, for that reason, -Pconfirm=true is used. If other App servers have dependency on the cleared Modules database, your application will fail.

It is very true that mlReloadModules is the right way to deploy/redeploy modules.
