Rebuilds the container, flushes all persistent caches, resets all variables, and rebuilds all data structures.

At times, it is necessary to re-initialize the entire system to account for changed or new code. This function:

• Rebuilds the container if $kernel is not passed in.
• Clears all persistent caches:
  • The bootstrap cache bin containing base system, module system, and theme system information.
  • The common 'default' cache bin containing arbitrary caches.
  • The page cache.
  • The URL alias path cache.
• Resets all static variables that have been defined via drupal_static().
• Clears asset (JS/CSS) file caches.
• Updates the system with latest information about extensions (modules and themes).
• Updates the bootstrap flag for modules implementing bootstrap_hooks().
• Rebuilds the full database schema information (invoking hook_schema()).
• Rebuilds data structures of all modules (invoking hook_rebuild()). In core this means
  • blocks, node types, date formats and actions are synchronized with the database
  • The 'active' status of fields is refreshed.
• Rebuilds the menu router.

It's discouraged to call this during a regular page request. If you call this function in tests, every code afterwards should use the new container.

This means the entire system is reset so all caches and static variables are effectively empty. After that is guaranteed, information about the currently active code is updated, and rebuild operations are successively called in order to synchronize the active system according to the current information defined in code.

All modules need to ensure that all of their caches are flushed when hook_cache_flush() is invoked; any previously known information must no longer exist. All following hook_rebuild() operations must be based on fresh and current system data. All modules must be able to rely on this contract.

@todo Try to clear page/JS/CSS caches last, so cached pages can still be served during this possibly long-running operation. (Conflict on bootstrap cache though.) @todo Add a global lock to ensure that caches are not primed in concurrent requests.

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\DrupalKernel|array $kernel: (optional) The Drupal Kernel. It is the caller's responsibility to rebuild the container if this is passed in. Sometimes drupal_flush_all_caches is used as a batch operation so $kernel will be an array, in this instance it will be treated as if it is NULL.

This function also resets the theme, which means it is not initialized anymore and all previously added JavaScript and CSS is gone. Normally, this function is called as an end-of-POST-request operation that is followed by a redirect, so this effect is not visible. Since the full reset is the whole point of this function, callers need to take care for backing up all needed variables and properly restoring or re-initializing them on their own. For convenience, this function automatically re-initializes the maintenance theme if it was initialized before.
